Wayland Patch 3/11/13: Snow Bank Causes Carbon Monoxide Scare for Wayland Family. The Wayland Fire Department said drifted snow was to blame for a potentially deadly carbon monoxide situation over the weekend. On Saturday morning at 8:30, Wayland firefighters responded to 100 Draper Road where they found a father and two young boys waiting for them outside their home. Wayland Fire Capt. David Houghton said the Wayland Fire Department was responding to a call about an alarm sounding and an odor of natural gas in the area. When firefighters entered the home through the garage, their carbon monoxide readers quickly registered dangerous levels of the odorless, but deadly gas.
