Popular Post rockpond Posted July 26, 2016 Popular Post Posted July 26, 2016 ICYMI: Two sister missionaries in Michigan were awakened by their carbon monoxide alarm. Upon leaving the building and noticing that nobody else was awake, they went back in and knocked doors until everyone was out! http://www.ldsliving.com/Sister-Missionaries-Save-Dozens-from/s/82703?s_cid=e2160516&utm_source=ldsliving&utm_medium=email Quote As they called 911 and started to leave the building, the sisters quickly realized they were the only ones with a carbon monoxide detector in the Cambridge Square apartments. So these missionaries did what they do best: they went door to door. But instead of sharing the gospel, they were saving lives. 6
BlueDreams Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 I remember when it became protocol to install these into all of the homes of missionaries after a couple of missionaries died from this (it wasn't in our mission....just generally). I'm glad the church puts in such efforts to protect missionaries and that those around these 2 sisters benefited from this action. 3

Yes... and it seems that the sisters might have been the only residents to have a functioning carbon monoxide detector in their apartment!

No a lot of homes have them, particularly if they're older complexes or they have older systems. Only 20 or so states require them in newer constructions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide_detector Edited July 26, 2016 by BlueDreams
Stargazer Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 My 120 year old house has one. A very important safety item for a home with natural gas heating and cooking.
