if carbon monoxide poisoning made some people sick early this morning in georgetown. ten people were evaluated but it doesn't look like anyone will have to go to the hospital. this happened on 33rd street just hours ago near m. street. there were high readings of carbon monoxide in the area at the time we're told. this could make two carbon monoxide poisoning incidents in the district in less than 24 hours. the d.c. fire department is making a big push to get co and smoke detectors in every home. we're joined this morning by chief kenneth ellerbe. usually we are reporting these kinds of stories during the winter months, why is it that co is a problem in winter? >> well, that's because people use their heaters in the wintertime and a lot of times they don't have the furnaces checked there could be a leak they're not aware of. >> in fact the incident yesterday, the furnace had just been serviced but this has been a pretty mild winter and you haven't had very many calls with people worried about c. o.? >> people are always worried about it but we haven't had a lot of call this is winter.

>> that's good. it's -- question is to whether the incident in georgetown is carbon monoxide poisoning or not. what are the symptoms? >> nausea, dizziness and headache most times. when people wake up if you have the symptoms seek medical attention. >> is it something that system like a silent -- is like a lie sent invasion of your home? >> carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless and you know you can't see it. so it's invisible. it's insidious in the sense that it can invade your home and its extreme health emergency if you do suffer carbon monoxide poisoning. >> you know the fire department is always making sure we have smoke detectors in our home but a lot of people don't realize they should have a c. o. detector and the d.c. fire department is taking away any excuses for people not having carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in the home. tell us about that. >> that's right we're giving away free carbon monoxide combination smoke detectors, call (202)673-3331 or go to our

website at fems.dc.gov and we'll make sure they get a detector. >> if they need help getting it installed? >> we have people who will install it. not just show them but we'll have folks who will put it in for them. >> what difference can that make? >> it can make a big difference. carbon monoxide binds to the heme grow bins in our body 270 times faster than regular air. if you have a lung. you are in extreme distress and potentially in a life- threatening situation. >> all right, not only will they give you one, but they will show you how to put it in and tell you the best places to put it if your home. >> good to see you. >> thanks. the time right now is 6:09 and five minutes we're heading to the auto show and we're taking you for a ride on one really cool simulator. howard says grab the umbrella before you leave the house. next, learn just how long this rain will last. keep it here with 9news now.

between driving with and driving without the star safety system. the star safety system includes features such as vehicle stability control, traction control, and anti-lock brakes and as you can see kate demonstrating it's very difficult to drive without those features involved. so what we're going to do now is activate those features for kate so that she can try again and see the difference. in what this does is it gives users an opportunity to feel what the difference is firsthand because a lot of these systems -- you would never know that you have them until you need them. so vehicle stability control, will selectively apply the brakes to the independence wheels. and that will give you control around the corners. traction control. modulates the throttle input and that maintains traction during acceleration. and of course anti-lock brake

systems will give you control under heavy braking. as you see on the simulator here when those systems are activated they're lit up and as kate is demonstrating it's much easier to drive with those systems enabled. >> that's fascinating, mike, we want to ask you a lot of folks have not had the opportunity the dry out the new -- to try out the new safety features out there. are they going to feel a difference and are these across all the toyota vehicles? >> yes, the star safety system is available on all toyota vehicles. and unfortunately, you'll never know that you have it until you need it because these systems work in the background. and you'll only need it in an emergency but when you do have it, you'll appreciate it. >> definitely a good thing to have. thank you mike, mike hernandez, an engineer with toyota joining us this morning with that simulator. cool stuff. >> it is. the auto show just so to you know it opens to the lick today and it is open every day through sunday, february 5th.
