What to do
- CO alarm: get outside and call from outside, even if nobody feels ill.
- If already inside, get outside. Do not enter to rescue without equipment and training. Call rescuers.
- Breathing difficulty, confusion, fainting, weakness or chest pain: emergency help now.
- Once safe: if unresponsive and breathing abnormally, follow dispatcher CPR guidance.
- Report pregnancy, babies or heart/breathing illness. Do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
- Even if better outside, get medical assessment. Stay outside. Report changes in breathing or response.
- If someone cannot leave, tell rescuers their location. Do not enter or send anyone without equipment and training.
What to avoid
- Do not return to the building or drive yourself.
- No smell does not mean safe.
