Call emergency services. They should at the least send EM Ts to make sure everyone is okay.

This is probably a Troll post. There can't really be people whose first response to a carbon monoxide alarm going off is to post about it on the internet, right?
Anyway, for Bookyangel 2438 and anyone else who was wondering: the dangerous thing about carbon monoxide is that it "takes the place" of oxygen in your red blood cells, and it stays in that place, which means there's less capacity for oxygen transport. This will make you feel sleepy and light in the head, and eventually lose consciousness - and unless someone finds you in time, it will kill you. Usually, you won't realise what's going on (the stuff is odourless), and you won't be able to do anything about it.
My room has an old-fashioned gas heater, so I bought a CO alarm when I moved in. The chances of it ever being needed are very slim indeed, but the idea that it's possible to just die like that - without feeling anything, without being able to resist - is such High Octane Nightmare Fuel to me that I feel a lot more comfortable in my own room with that thing on the wall.

Mache dich, mein Herze, rein...As I know, it can be slower than drowning or faster depending on the saturation of CO in the air. Besides being with no real smell, it also causes you to lose motor abilities. Most of the time you are not even aware you are inhaling CO besides the mild headache and slight dizziness until its too late.

This can't be good...
