Congratulations to Todd Reinertsen and Scott Nava working Medic 1 for a great job this morning saving 5 adults and 4 children with carbon monoxide poisoning. Medic 1 responded to a residence in Garnerville for a woman complaining of headache and nausea. While assessing the woman, the portable carbon monoxide detectors carried by our paramedics for many years began alerting to high levels of CO in the house. Todd and Scott quickly evacuated the house and determined that all residents were feeling sick with headaches and nausea. Their quick action saved lives today.
