🏠 Protect your family from a danger you can’t see or smell.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas that can come from fuel-burning equipment, including furnaces, fireplaces and generators. Without working carbon monoxide alarms, you may not know it’s there.

November is Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month - a reminder to protect everyone, from the youngest family members to older loved ones.

✅ Install carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home and outside each sleeping area.
✅ Test alarms monthly and help older relatives check theirs.
✅ Teach children that a carbon monoxide alarm means get outside and stay outside.

🚨 If an alarm sounds, get everyone outside to fresh air, call 911 from outside and wait for emergency responders to say it’s safe to return.

🚨 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐨 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬

We've spent October sharing ways to prevent fires but knowing how to respond if one starts is just as important.

As we wrap up 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, make sure everyone in your household knows these lifesaving steps:
🔹 Get outside immediately if you see smoke, discover a fire, or hear your smoke alarm
🔹 Help others escape if you can do so safely
🔹 Go to your family's designated meeting place outside
🔹 Call 911 once you're safely outside
🔹 Never go back inside a burning building

When a fire happens, every second counts. Don't waste valuable time gathering belongings or trying to determine how serious the fire is.

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫: 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐎𝐮𝐭. 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝟗𝟏𝟏.
