Garbage Recycle Calendar 2023Safety Tip of the Month
Cooler weather here we come. The sun is setting earlier each evening and the nighttime temps are slowly dropping. Soon we will be switching to the heat setting on our thermostats.
With fall we all know to be changing the batteries in our smoke detectors and testing them to make sure they are working. Along with that it is just as critical to make sure you have working carbon monoxide detectors in your home.
Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. Each year over 200 people die from carbon monoxide produced by fuel burning appliances in the home including furnaces, ranges, water heaters and room heaters. CO poisoning symptoms include shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, light headedness, or headaches.
If you suspect CO poisoning, get to fresh air immediately, and then call 9-1-1. Treat the alarm signal as a real emergency each time. If the alarm sounds and you are not experiencing any symptoms described above, press the reset button. If the alarm continues to activate, call the fire department. We will come and use our gas monitor to check your home.
Please check those smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and we hope you have a safe fall season.
