A carbon monoxide scare inside a Long Island home sent 11 people, including four kids, to the hospital — but it could have been much worse, even deadly, had it not been for the heroics of the family’s pediatrician who likely saved their lives
"Your home carbon monoxide detectors usually alert between 30 and 50 ppm. That gives you enough time to hear it and react to it," said Chief Fire Marshal Michael Uttaro.
Before learning of the leak, the family started to feeling ill, so they called their pediatrician, Dr. John Zaso. They told the doctor that they all had flu-like symptoms and had trouble standing and walking. That call may have saved them. All of those who fell ill are expected to recover. Family members who left the home did not wish to talk with reporters on Tuesday.
