Original Message Weather anomaly causes carbon monoxide scare at Pittsburgh homes
Fire chief: Readings outside buildings as high or higher than inside

PITTSBURGH, OCTOBER 26,2012 —
When it gets cold outside, fire companies start getting calls about carbon monoxide -- but not typically on days like Thursday that are so mild they end up breaking temperature records.
However, beginning at 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, Pittsburgh fire crews started getting calls for active carbon monoxide alarms.
“It was actually kind of ironic that the inside detectors were alerting us to the fact that there was a problem outside,” said deputy fire chief Frank Large.
The activity continued several times throughout the day.
“The companies went out and used their gas detectors and determined in some cases there were significant cases of carbon monoxide in the air,” Large said. “They were finding, however, that the readings outside the buildings were as high or higher than what they were finding inside of the buildings.”
Local fire crews learned of a temperature inversion outside, a weather anomaly that capped the atmosphere and trapped carbon monoxide in pockets over the East End, Homewood, Point Breeze, Stanton Heights and Lawrenceville.
“We had readings as high as 20 to 25 parts per million, which can be a problem over a period of time if you’re exposed to those levels,” Large said
