Firefighters responded to two carbon monoxide alarms early this morning. At 2:55 a.m. on the 1000 Block of 20th Street the alarm was signaling a low battery and at 3:23 a.m. on the 300 Block of Ninth Street carbon monoxide was detected due to a furnace that will need repaired. The apartment building had to be evacuated, but no one was injured, and NorthWestern Energy took over at the scene.

Havre Fire Chief Nathan Courtnage said that these incidences are a good reminder that this is a good time to replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. He added that while smoke detectors are placed high on a wall because smoke is lighter than air, carbon monoxide detectors should be lower, at about electrical plug-in height, because the deadly gas is heavier than air. The detectors should be placed near any gas appliance and in basements.
