One of the blog's loyal readers and Round Lake Resident Kurt Rodewald who is an area firefighter/paramedic wanted me to remind everyone about the dangers of running your car in the garage in the morning. You open your garage and start your car while its still in the garage. This practice is extremely dangerous. The exhaust containing CO as well as other harmful contaminants can build up in the garage and seep into the house and build up to dangerous levels inside the house. If one does not have a CO detector, this colorless, odorless, tasteless gas can reach deadly levels undetected. I do not want to see this happen to anyone. This would have been a tragic and completely preventable accident. If someone feels the need to warm up the car in the morning, the safe way would be to pull it OUT of the garage and CLOSE the garage door to prevent the exhaust from re-entering the garage.
