🥶 As we start turning on our furnaces to take the chill out of the house, carbon monoxide (CO) safety becomes even more important!
CO is an odorless, colorless gas that can be deadly. As temperatures drop, take a few minutes to make sure your home is protected:
✅ Test all CO alarms to make sure they are working.
✅ Inspect alarms and replace batteries or units as needed.
✅ Make sure CO alarms are installed on every level of your home and near sleeping areas.
✅ Have your furnace and heating system inspected and serviced regularly.
🚨 Remember: You can’t see or smell carbon monoxide, but a working CO alarm can save lives!
Stay warm and stay safe this fall and winter!

🍂🎃 Keep Fall Decorations Fun — and Fire Safe! 🎃🍂
Fall decorations can make your home feel festive, but some can also create fire hazards. Keep decorations away from heat sources, open flames and exits, and never block doors or escape routes. If you're using candles, consider flameless alternatives and always keep them away from anything that can burn.
As you decorate for the season, take a few extra seconds to make sure your fall décor doesn't create a fire risk. Keep it festive. Keep it safe. 🔥🚒
