❄️Winter weather increases the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.❄️Protect your family from the dangers of CO!

CO can’t be seen. 👀
CO can’t be smelled. 👃

CO is deadly. ☠️

✅ Install CO alarms in a central location outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of your home. Test them regularly!
✅ Only run vehicles outside, never in the garage (even with the door open).
✅ Use portable generators outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from doors, windows, and vents
✅ Make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of snow and other debris
