❄️ COLD WEATHER SAFETY REMINDER ❄️
Carbon Monoxide: The Silent Winter Killer
As temperatures drop, many of us turn to heaters, fireplaces, and generators to stay warm. Remember—carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless, colorless, and deadly. It can build up quickly in enclosed spaces.
🔥 Prevent CO Poisoning: ✅ Make sure all vents, chimneys, and exhausts are clear of snow and ice
✅ Never run vehicles, generators, or propane heaters in garages or enclosed spaces
✅ Keep portable heaters well-ventilated and approved for indoor use
✅ Install and test CO alarms in your home
✅ If your alarm goes off—get outside and call 911
🚨 Know the symptoms: Headache • dizziness • nausea • confusion • chest pain • fainting
If you suspect CO exposure, get fresh air immediately and seek medical help.
Stay warm, stay safe, and look out for each other this winter. ❤️❄️
