What if something dangerous was in your home right now, and you had absolutely no idea?
No smell. No warning signs. Nothing you can see.
That’s what makes carbon monoxide so scary, and why it’s often called the “silent killer.”
November is Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month, and with colder weather moving in, this is something every homeowner needs to think about.
We’re all starting to turn on our furnaces, fire up the wood stoves, and spend more time indoors. Now is a good time to make sure your family is protected.
A few things to keep in mind this winter:
âś… Make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home and near sleeping areas.
âś… Test your alarms regularly.
âś… Have your furnace, wood stove, and other fuel-burning appliances inspected.
âś… Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, weakness, and confusion.
And PLEASE, if your carbon monoxide alarm goes off, don’t ignore it. Get everyone outside and call 911.
At Midwest Fire Safety, we talk with families every day about protecting their homes. One thing we always stress is that you can’t protect your family from a danger you don’t know is there.
If you’re not sure your home has the protection it needs, give us a call. We’re always happy to help.
