⚡❄️ When winter storms knock out the power in Maine, the risk of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning increases significantly. The danger often comes from trying to stay warm or keep the lights on—specifically through the improper use of portable generators, camp stoves, or alternative heating sources in enclosed spaces. These devices should never be used indoors or in attached garages. Please visit the Maine Emergency Management Agency to learn how to keep your family safe during the next outage. https://www.maine.gov/mema/maine-prepares/home-preparedness/carbon-monoxide-safety
