Here It Is - 4:00 AM and CO Detector Woke Me Up

Hmmm . . . you've burned 50-60 cords and never had a problem until now . . . I suppose the idea of the cold air coming down the chimney is possible . . . but very unusual . . . normally just the heat given off the coals and coming from the air in the house is enough to maintain the draft . . .

My only bit of advice . . . if it happens again call the FD right then and there . . . volunteer or career it doesn't matter . . . we all signed up for the job and we are there to respond to any emergency regardless of the time of day (or night) . . . by calling right away and not venting the place the FD can respond and attempt to more accurately pinpoint the source of the CO right then and there vs. coming in after the place has been vented and trying to figure out what could have set off the CO detectors.
