A former nurse said she feels "lucky to be alive" after deadly carbon monoxide fumes filled in her kitchen.
Julie Macsorley had been cooking a chicken at her home near South Shields when her carbon monoxide (CO) alarm alerted her to the danger. The 59-year-old wasted no time in calling the emergency number and a Northern Gas Networks (NGN) engineer was quickly on scene to cap off the house’s gas supply after detecting potentially life-threatening levels of carbon monoxide build-up.
"I feel lucky to be alive – this could have been a lot, lot worse than it was," Julie said.
