Generators can be helpful during power outages, but using them incorrectly can be extremely dangerous. Proper placement and use are key to keeping your family safe.

Safety Tips:

Use generators outdoors only and keep them at least 20 feet away from your home. Always point the exhaust away from doors, windows, and vents to prevent carbon monoxide from entering.

Never run a generator in a garage, basement, or near openings. Even if doors or windows are open, dangerous carbon monoxide can build up quickly.

Place generators on a dry, stable surface. Keep them protected from rain when possible, but never operate them indoors or in enclosed spaces.

Using generators the right way helps prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and keeps your home safe during outages.

2.Test CO alarms monthly and replace batteries when needed

3.Never run generators, grills, or vehicles inside garages or homes

4. Make sure vents and exhaust pipes are clear of snow and debris

If your CO alarm goes off: Get outside to fresh air immediately and call for help.
