Resident thanks Springfield Fire Department after carbon-monoxide incident
Summary
A Springfield resident publicly thanked the Fire Department and Chief MacMillan for a multi-hour response to a boiler malfunction that produced carbon monoxide readings of 800 ppm; the board heard the compliment during scheduled appointments.
At the Board of Selectmen meeting on Dec. 22, Springfield resident Mike Thomas thanked the Springfield Fire Department and Chief MacMillan for their response to a boiler malfunction at his home that caused carbon-monoxide readings of 800 parts per million.
Thomas said Chief MacMillan spent about three and a half hours at the residence, “walking Mike and his wife through everything that was going on,” and praised the team’s work and follow-up. The board received the comment during scheduled appointments and offered no formal action beyond accepting the thanks.
The minute entry records the measurement of 800 ppm, which Thomas described as "very high." The board did not take separate action on the incident during the meeting.
