PSA: Please check your carbon monoxide detectors

A close friend nearly had a major tragedy. A pipe to their furnace had clogged and flames were shooting out the front. Not only that, but the carbon monoxide was backing up into their house. She had checked the detectors recently, but somehow it got unplugged between then and now. I can't bear to think of all the horrible things that could have happened.

Please people (especially those of you who have been going through the cold snap with us.) Check your heating equipment and your carbon monoxide detectors.
