What should I do when my Carbon Monoxide alarm detects Carbon Monoxide?

Who should I call?
Should I open windows?
Should I evacuate immediately?
Whats the first thing I should do if the alarm sounds?

Carbon Monoxide gas is colorless, tasteless and odorless.
First thing: Get Out the house!
2. Leave the door open to ventilate the house.
3. Wait an 1 hour then open windows for cross ventilation and step out.
All this assuming nothing is on fire. Carbon Monoxide is a product of something Burning, even your car’s exhaust will trigger the alarm if there is enough concentration of these gas.
Off course if there is smoke, there is fire and something is burning. Call 911.
