This week, a heartbreaking incident in Clay Township, Ohio, claimed the lives of a family of 5 due to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. The victims consisted of 2 adults and 3 children, and where found dead inside their home on April 15th, 2025.

Upon arrival at the scene, it was quickly determined that the individuals were deceased by the first responders. Our thoughts are with the family and their loved ones.

Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless, and lethal—and the risk doesn’t end with the victims. It puts First Responders in danger during every response to a possible gas emergency.

At Apollo Safety, we’ve made it our mission for over 30 years to protect those who protect others. We provide trusted gas detection equipment and training to ensure firefighters and EMS teams can identify and respond to hazardous gas conditions safely.

Let this tragedy serve as a wake-up call. Make sure your Fire or EMS department is equipped with:

  • Portable multi-gas detectors
  • Regularly Scheduled Calibrations (to ensure properly working Gas detectors)

Apollo Safety does offer a single line item budget option to keep your Gas Detectors calibrated, which can include all PM as well. This makes sure your detector is always working and compliant, keeping the first responders safe from these lethal gasses.

  • Replacing outdated monitors that no longer meet safety standards
  • Joining a repair and calibration contract to keep your detectors in perfect shape for the next year

Planning Ahead for FY25? Start Smart.

Looking ahead to July 1st? Now’s the time to start planning for:

Quick Safety Tip:

How often should you calibrate your gas detectors?

Most manufacturers recommend calibration every 6 months, but in high-use or high-risk environments, monthly bump testing and quarterly calibrations can catch issues before they become dangerous.
