CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY TIPSWith temperatures dropping, its tempting to use different ways to heat your home. Do not use grills, camp stoves, etc... to warm your home because they can emit carbon monoxide. Keep generators outside and make sure gas appliances are working and venting correctly.
Always have a CO Detector that is less than 10 years old and check it to make sure it is working. 1/4/2025
