Another close carbon monoxide (CO) call in the northeast.

Nipawin fire crews were called to a home Monday night after a CO alarm sounded just as residents were going to bed.

The residents vacated the house and dialed 9-1-1.

Firefighters took a CO monitor into the house and discovered levels in the 50 parts per million (ppm) range, and up to 165 ppm in the furnace room.
