More progress to share regarding the new NEQALS Base ... we are back to work and have a trench! That trench will house a water line. Next up is the storm water treatement facility, the sewer connection and, hopefully soon, framing. Please visit www.NEQALS.org and support our capital fund. ... We still need to buy furniture, kitchen appliances and supplies. Every dollar helps!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 2, 2020 Webster first responders, including EMTs from Webster Emergency Medical Service, Paramedics from Northeast Quadrant Advanced Life Support and firefighters from the Northeast Joint Fire District recently responded to a call in which a person was found unresponsive in their home, along with some pets, possibly due to Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning. This brings a topic that everyone should be keenly aware of as we start the heating season ...in our area. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gasoline, wood, propane, or other fuel. Improperly ventilated appliances, including furnaces and fireplaces, particularly in a tightly sealed or enclosed space, may allow carbon monoxide to accumulate to dangerous levels, according to Rob Boutillier, Chief of the North East Joint Fire District. Paramedic Ahmed Mustafa, President and CEO of Northeast Quadrant Advanced Life Support and Webster Emergency Medical Services adds Because carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, it can sneak up on you quickly. Normally we’d say the greatest risk is at night when people are sleeping, however, now with many of us working and studying at home, the risk is present at any time. Both Mustafa and Boutillier are asking people to make sure there is at least one working carbon monoxide detector on each level of your home and within 15 feet of any sleeping space. Mustafa says signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include a dull headache, feeling weak, dizzy, nausea, unexplained shortness of breath or blurred vision and, in extreme cases loss of consciousness. CO detectors are inexpensive devices that can, and do, save lives every year, according to Chief Boutillier. Please make sure you test your CO and smoke detectors monthly to ensure they are in proper working order. If your carbon monoxide detector goes off, treat it as a life-threatening emergency, call 911 and exit the location immediately. CO Detectors are available at local home repair and hardware stores as well as online and require minimal installation. Please help us get the word out so we can prevent further tragedies in our communities this year.
