A local family was saved from carbon monoxide poisoning thanks to a Ring alarm and the Blue Ash Fire Department.

The Texier family’s story has been featured on the Ellen DeGeneres show and in Ring social media posts.

When a carbon monoxide alarm sounded, the Ring Monitoring Service called the family and the Blue Ash Fire Department, according to Ring.

The family evacuated and when firefighters arrived they found carbon monoxide throughout the house.

“A big shout out to the Blue Ash Fire Department for getting to our house to help save us,” said Andre Texier in a Facebook message to the City.
