Carbon monoxide tragedy averted for Anna Faris and her family in Lake Tahoe – KCRA Sacramento

Actress Anna Faris is thanking the North Tahoe Fire Protection District for saving her and her family from carbon monoxide that was sickening her relatives as they were celebrating Thanksgiving at a vacation home. "Im not quite sure how to express gratitude to the north Lake Tahoe fire department- we were saved from carbon monoxide- its a stupidly dramatic story but Im feeling very fortunate," the "Scary Movie" star said in a tweet Thanksgiving evening. In a news release Monday, the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District said a family of 13 was "lucky to be alive" after the carbon monoxide scare. Hospital staff identified carbon monoxide poisoning in two of the family members who left the holiday dinner to be evaluated. Firefighters then went to the vacation home where Faris' family was staying. Two more people were hospitalized and the nine remaining family members were treated at the home, fire officials said."The maximum recommended indoor CO level is 9 parts per million (PPM). Upon arrival, the home was reading as high as 55 PPM, even with windows and doors open for ventilation. The home was not equipped with CO alarms," the fire protection district said in the news release.
