Bellevue, WI – Wasps caused a scare for some homeowners in Bellevue.
On Aug. 13, firefighters were called to a home where the carbon monoxide detectors were going off.
Firefighters entered the home and registered elevated levels of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can be deadly.
The crews took a look around the home and discovered that wasps had built a nest in a tankless hot water heater exhaust pipe.
“The nest had completely blocked off the pipe,” reads a post on the fire department’s Facebook page.
The department says this incident serves as a good reminder to check those exhaust pipes for blockages.
