Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week: Protect Your Home and Family

Carbon monoxide is a silent, invisible gas that can be deadly — but with the right precautions, you can protect your loved ones.

What You Need to Know:

- CO is produced when fuels like gas, wood, or oil don’t burn completely.

- Common sources include furnaces, fireplaces, gas stoves, and vehicles running in enclosed spaces.

Symptoms of CO poisoning include headache, dizziness, nausea, and confusion.

How to Stay Safe:

✅ Install CO alarms on every level of your home

✅ Test alarms monthly

✅ Replace alarms every 7–10 years as per manufacturers instructions

✅ Have your appliances inspected annually
