A Winnipeg mom is urging people to check their carbon monoxide detectors regularly after a gas leak sent her and her family to hospital on Friday. Feniuk said she's already bought replacement carbon monoxide detectors, and had her gas shut off until she gets her old furnace replaced on Monday. "Please, please — I can't stress enough — please get your carbon monoxide detectors checked and make sure they're working properly." The city says people are strongly encouraged to install carbon monoxide detectors on every floor of their home and test them regularly. If you suspect there's been a carbon monoxide leak or if an alarm goes off, you should get out immediately and call 911.
