⚠️ Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week: Know the Signs ⚠️

🚨 Could it be carbon monoxide (CO)? Carbon monoxide is known as the "silent killer" because you can't see, smell, or taste it. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of CO poisoning could save your life.

Signs of acute CO poisoning include:
🔹 Headaches
🔹 Dizziness
🔹 Nausea or vomiting
🔹 Shortness of breath
🔹 Weakness or fatigue
🔹 Loss of consciousness or collapsing

Signs of chronic CO exposure may include:
🔹 Frequent, unexplained illnesses
🔹 Behaviour or mood changes
🔹 Symptoms that improve when you leave the building and return when you come back
🔹 Difficulty concentrating or ongoing fatigue
🔹 Long-term damage to the heart, lungs, or brain

⚠️ A warning sign: If multiple people or pets in your home experience these symptoms at the same time, carbon monoxide could be the cause.

✅ Install carbon monoxide alarms outside all sleeping areas and on every level of your home.
✅Test alarms monthly, replace batteries annually and replace devices as per the manufacturers instructions.
✅ Have fuel-burning appliances inspected and maintained regularly.
✅ Never ignore a sounding CO alarm.

If your CO alarm activates or you suspect carbon monoxide exposure, move to fresh air immediately, call 9-1-1, and do not re-enter the building until it has been declared safe.

⚠️ Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week ⚠️

👶👧🧒👦👩Children are especially vulnerable to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and can be affected sooner than adults because their bodies take in oxygen more quickly. CO is known as the "Silent Killer" because you can't see it, smell it, or taste it.

Protect the ones who matter most:
✅ Install carbon monoxide alarms outside all sleeping areas and on every level
✅ Test your alarms monthly
✅ Replace batteries as needed and follow manufacturer's replacement guidelines
✅ Have fuel-burning appliances inspected annually by a certified technician
✅ Keep vents, chimneys, and exhaust outlets clear of snow, ice, and debris

Take a moment to watch our Carbon Monoxide Alarm Safety PSA and help keep your family safe. Every second counts when it comes to carbon monoxide.

🏠How does carbon monoxide (CO) enter living spaces?

Even if your appliances are working, CO can build up due to blocked passages.

🤔Have you checked for clogged chimneys or vents due to snow, nests or debris?

👀You can’t see it. 👃You can’t smell it. 👅 You can’t taste it.

✅But a working carbon monoxide alarm can warn you.

⚠️When carbon monoxide is silent, let safety be heard.

⚠️ CO Awareness Week STARTS TODAY - Know the New CO Alarm Requirements ⚠️

Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the "silent killer" because it is colourless, odourless, and tasteless. Every year, CO emergencies remind us how important working carbon monoxide alarms are in protecting our families.

As of January 1, 2026, updates to the Ontario Fire Code have expanded CO alarm requirements for many homes. If your home has a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, attached garage, or is heated by air from an external fuel-burning appliance, CO alarms are now required:
✅ Adjacent to all sleeping areas
✅ On every level of the home, including basements and floors without bedrooms

This change helps provide earlier warning no matter where carbon monoxide is produced in the home.

Take action today:
🔹 Test your CO alarms monthly
🔹 Replace alarms according to the manufacturer's instructions
🔹 Make sure alarms are certified by a recognized testing agency such as CSA, ULC, or ETL
🔹 Install additional alarms if your home does not meet the new requirements

A working CO alarm can provide the warning you need to escape a potentially deadly situation. Protect your family. Check your alarms today.

🎙️ Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week | November 1-7

Thanks Jamie for another opportunity to join 1077 2Day FM Stratford & 107.1 CJCS - Stratford to discuss the importance of carbon monoxide safety and share tips to help keep our communities safe.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is often called the "silent killer" because it is colourless, odourless, and impossible to detect without a working CO alarm.

As we head into heating season, remember these important safety reminders:

✅ Install carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas.
✅ Test your alarms monthly and replace them when they reach their expiry date (typically 7-10 years).
✅ Have furnaces, fireplaces, wood stoves, and other fuel-burning appliances inspected and cleaned regularly.
✅ Never operate generators in garages or other enclosed spaces. Keep them well away from doors, windows, and vents.
✅ If your CO alarm sounds, get everyone out immediately, including pets, and call 9-1-1. Leave doors and windows closed so emergency responders can help determine the source safely.
✅ Take a few minutes with your family to create or review your home escape plan and meeting place.

🚨 Test it. Replace it. Trust it.
Let's work together to and keep our families safe this heating season.
