While walking downtown in Elk Grove, I spotted one of their brand new Rosenbauer pumpers on scene at a high-rise.
 
I think the fleet department was playing a game of smart-ass when they put the 'fire extinguisher' stickers on the doors 
 
 

It's often jokes upon in the emergency services that they are the last few professions that still make house calls.  But carbon monoxide and smoke are no joking matter.
 
Lakeview County Fire Services alongside Elkridge State Paramedics were called to a residence in Sandy Shores after a resident had called their neighbor, stating they were not feeling very well. The neighbor proceeded to call 911 to have an ambulance dispatched. 
 
EMS crews arrived, but thanks to a clip-on gas monitor on the EMS 'jump kit,' which sounded when they approached the front door, EMS crews were able to determine there were high levels of carbon monoxide present in the residence.
 
Fire Services attended and ensured all three residents, and one dog were brought safely outside of the home for assessment. All three persons in the home, two adults and a juvenile were transported to the City of Elk Grove for intensive care, and the dog was brought to an emergency veterinary clinic for assessment. Their conditions remain unknown.
 
The Fire Services are still on scene trying to determine how the leak started, and have also provided two free smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to the residence as part of the smoke alarm initiative started by the State of Elkridge.

After it was apparent to city council that the apparatus existing in the City of Elk Grove, a tender was put out to various fire apparatus manufacturers. After receiving a competitive and attractive offer from Pierce Manufacturing, the City of Elk Grove purchased eight new fire apparatus for this year, and an additional to be purchased for next year.
 
After eight months of waiting, three of the new apparatus arrived, with the other five being transported to the city shortly.
 
Elk Grove Rescue Engine 4 is seen here responding to it's second call - a medical aid.
