We had a carbon monoxide scare last night. The alarm in the basement went off, and so we called 911 and waited in my mom's car. We brought the cat with us and he was NOT happy about it, but pets can die of carbon monoxide poisoning too, so we didn't take chances. It was impossible getting out there, too, because basically there was snow and then it rained and then it got cold as Jack Frosts balls very cold out. So the entire outside is basically a giant ice rink right now and I tried my best but I still almost broke my butt. Then the fire department came and went through our house and made sure it was safe, and we went back inside. I still have a bruised butt and an angry cat.
