Some of you may remember...

Late last year we had a carbon monoxide scare. We did get everything sorted and it took us both a while to recover, Since then no problems. We have a utility room where the combi boiler is. In this room we keep the hoover, ironing board etc. There is also a drinks fridge in there. Tonight I opened the fridge and a bottle of beer fell out. When it hit the floor it broke. While I was cleaning up the mess the detector started to bleep. Could the exploding beer bottle cause this? I would be grateful if some one who knows this would reply. Thanks.

You are losing your touch. Had that happened to me I would have caught the bottle in my gob long before it hit the floor and drained it at a draught.

lol at mike !

Could be, micmak, as doc says, the bottle frothed up and released the gases. Good to know that your detector is working well, though!

Thanks guys. The detector has now gone back to zero and stopped bleeping. If you don't own one of these gadgets I strongly advise you to buy one. It saved the life of me and Mrs MM.♥
