Carbon Monoxide Detectors save lives!! We had a water heater that was burning incorrectly and would never have had a clue if the CO Detector hadn’t gone off.

Get one and install it according to the Mfg. instructions!!

They could have opened a window as well. I’ve used the gas grill in my garage and had no problems simply because I had adequate ventilation.

"This all could have been avoided if they'd had a carbon monoxide detector in their home," Barton said.

Or if they had used their outdoor cooker outdoors!

Forty-nine people were in the garage and throughout the home

That is a lot of people to grill for.

I wish they would have stated if the garage door was open or closed.

I can not imagine that it was closed.

Running the grill while cooking for 49 people in a closed space is a guarantee of CO poisoning.

Why didn’t they BBQ outside?
49 people in the garage, good grief how big was the garage?

"Jeff's phone here. Jeff doesn't have At&T, so no bars out here."

"That call about not BBQ'ing in the garage, we didn't get that."
