(Sioux City Journal<\/a>) A Sioux Falls police officer is being credited with helping save members of a family overcome by carbon monoxide gas in their home.<\/p>\n

Michael and Marchelle Holloway and their four children ranging in age from 10 to 15 were poisoned by the potentially deadly gas Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really didn\u2019t know what was going on,\u201d Marchelle Holloway said. \u201cI jumped up because I was in bed and I fell straight to the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Holloway was able to get one child outside, and his wife was able to call 911. Officer Ryan Chase, a 17-year veteran of the police force, responded.<\/p>\n

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. Chase had never encountered it before but knew immediately after arriving at the home that it was a bad situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went in and just started getting everybody out,\u201d Chase said, adding that the gas made him \u201clight-headed, and my skin felt tingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0Police Chief Matt Burns said Chase went \u201cabove and beyond the call of duty\u201d by entering the house numerous times at the risk of his own safety to help rescue the family.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Holloway family spent two hours recovering at a hospital. Michael Holloway\u2019s company has put the family up in a hotel for a week while repairs are made to their furnace \u2014 the source of the gas.<\/p>\n

The family also plans to buy a carbon monoxide detector.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been taught about smoke detectors, but I never, ever thought about (carbon monoxide detectors),\u201d Marchelle Holloway said. \u201cI would spend anything in the world for one now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
