Pendle MP, Gordon Prentice, is backing the ‘Carbon Monoxide – Be Alarmed!’ campaign which encourages people to ensure they have an audible Carbon Monoxide alarm and that they have all fuel burning appliances serviced annually by a registered and qualified engineer. The campaign is also backed by Kirstie Allsopp, of Channel 4’s Location, Location, Location. The MP commented: "Carbon monoxide is an invisible deadly gas you can't smell or taste. I remember the tragedies in Pendle. They were avoidable. Everyone with a fuel burning appliance should have it checked regularly." The Carbon Monoxide – Be Alarmed! campaign recommends four simple steps to keep your household safe: · Fit an audible Carbon Monoxide alarm which should be marked with the ‘EN50291′ safety standard · Have fuel-burning appliances serviced annually by a registered professional · Don’t block ventilation and get chimneys swept at least once a year · Learn about the danger signs and symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning at www.co-bealarmed.co.uk ENDS Carbon Monoxide is produced when fuel-burning appliances are incorrectly fitted, badly repaired, poorly maintained or if flues, chimneys or vents are blocked.
