OVERCHARGING
O
ne Sarasota family is grateful to be alive after
firefighters discovered deadly gas through-
out their home.
T
he family didn’t even realize there was a
colorless, odorless gas floating through their
house. They evacuated within a few hours, but if
they waited any longer, they may not be alive to
share their experience.
“The whole thing is scary,” said Ferrell Marrs.

er carbon monoxide detector likely saved her
family’s life.
arrs told ABC7 she learned her carbon mon-
oxide detector was out-of-date last week, so
when she heard the backup system alarm sound,
she took the warning seriously.
“We have no gas in the house,” explained Marrs. “Why
in the world would we have carbon monoxide going
off? It makes no sense to us.”
