Company 22 was dispatched to 656 North Street for a CO alarm activation. Engine 22 responded with a crew of six and Chief 22 responded POV. This location has had similar CO problems in the past. A crew monitored the air in the home and got elevated CO readings. The coal hopper was found empty and it was suspected that was the cause of the CO in the home. The furnace was shut down, and the home was ventilated. When the CO readings dropped to 0 ppm, the coal hopper was filled and the furnace was restarted. The crew continued to monitor the CO level. It was discovered that CO was continuing to come from the coal hopper. The furnace was shut down. When the CO readings dropped to 0 ppm, the property was released back to the occupants, with the advice they leave the furnace off until they have a qualified service technician check it. The company was released by command and went available. The outside temperature was 20?F.
