Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service warning about carbon monixide [Video]

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service is reminding people about the dangers of carbon monoxide after a scare at a personal care home on Tuesday.

Officials say building tenants were assessed as a precaution, but nobody exhibited symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure.

They say a malfunction with the boiler system caused a buildup of the colourless, tasteless, and odourless gas.

Carbon monoxide poisoning can be fatal, and symptoms include nausea, dizziness, confusion, vision and hearing loss
