PREVENTING CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

• Service all heating systems and all gas-, oil- or coal-burning appliances by a technician annually.

• Install a battery-operated and electric-powered carbon monoxide detector in your home and check or replace the battery when you change the time on your clocks each spring and fall. If the detector sounds, leave your home immediately and call 911.

• Contact a doctor if you believe you have carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Do not use gas-powered devices such as a generator, grill or stove inside your home, basement or near a near a window or door. Generators should be operated more than 15 feet from the home.

• Do not run any gas-powered motor inside a closed structure, such as a garage.

• Do not heat a home with a gas oven.

One person killed in Augusta fire

By The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Maine — One person was killed but nine others escaped with their lives when fire swept through an Augusta apartment building.

Spokesman Stephen McCausland of the Maine Public Safety Department said the fire in the seven-unit downtown building broke out between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. Thursday. McCausland said at least 10 people were occupying the building at the time, and all but one got out alive.

Officials did not immediately have the victim's name and did not know the cause of the fire. The state Fire Marshal's office and city authorities are investigating.
