Building Evacuated Due to Carbon Monoxide

Yesterday our central station received a high carbon monoxide level at a business we secure.  We dispatched the Lexington Fire Department and they evacuated the building until the air quality was back to normal.

The employees at this business are lucky that their company had us install a monitored carbon monoxide system.  Carbon monoxide is often called the silent killer because it can’t be seen, smelled or heard.  It causes 500 deaths a year in the U.S. and an additional 20,000 go to the ER because of it.

Having a carbon monoxide detector in your home or business can help protect you, your family or your employees from being poisoned.  Having a monitored carbon monoxide detector is even better because we call the fire department for you in case you are unable to call yourself.

Some of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are:  headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, confusion and loss of consciousness.

In the early hours Wednesday morning and in the cover of darkness , a team of criminals attempted to take what wasn’t theirs at Baker Iron and Metal here in Lexington.

Again, our security was on and thanks to Sonitol’s impact activated audio detection, our operators received the audio from the site.  They dispatched our partners in crime prevention the Lexington Police department and contacted our client.

The responding officers observed the duo attempting to flee and apprehended them.

I love a happy ending….

Auto Parts Store Break-In Attempt

We recently received audio of a loud crashing sound at an auto parts store that we secure.  We dispatched the police and they found a large concrete block had been thrown through the store’s window.  Our system must have scared him off because the assailant made no attempt to enter the store.
