Snow & ice can block furnace vents, dryer vents, and fireplace vents, which can cause carbon monoxide to build up in your home. Take a couple of minutes to remove snow from these areas around your home.

❄️🚨❄️🚨❄️🚨❄️🚨

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless, and colorless gas and is known as a silent killer. Make sure you have working CO alarms installed in your home. Suspect CO poisoning? Evacuate the area and call 9-1-1 right away.

Please stay off the roads and allow plows to break open or keep up with the snowfall. Cars getting stuck in middle of roadways stops all plow operations.
