Fuel Supply Co. investigators theorize that an improperly venting furnace may have been the culprit. The officials feel that a fireplace, still hot from a fire left burning when the couple went to bed, was drawing air from inside the house and sending it up the chimney Because the house had been so well sealed against heat loss, the only outside opening for the air flow was down the furnace vent. The resulting negative pressure would not allow the furnace to vent to the outside when the Unit kicked on later in the evening, forcing fumes into living areas. With the support of the National Highway Traffic Safety Agency new updated breath testing equipment has been purchased by the department and support has been given to the highway patrol. Drinking drivers are now brought to the Sandy police station instead of taking them to the Murray Police Department for testing. If the test is over the acceptable range the driver is issued a citation and their vehicle is usually parked and locked, releasing the driver to a responsible friend or relative. The whole process takes from 30 to 45 minutes, compared to the previous process which took from three to four hours, plus a round trip to the Salt Lake County Jail.
