Carbon monoxide on the rise

It’s odorless, colorless – and deadly if you’re not careful.

And this time of the year, it’s on the rise.

Gas appliances such as stoves, dryers and hot water heaters can give off carbon monoxide.

Intellitec Colleges offers a certification course for contractors.

They’ve even built a mock apartment for the training at their Colorado Springs campus.
