‼️ As a 911 center, we know firsthand how quickly a preventable emergency can become a life-threatening situation. Please take a few minutes to review these generator and carbon monoxide safety tips from one of our local fire departments. ‼️

⚠️ SEVERE WEATHER & GENERATOR SAFETY REMINDER ⚠️

Yesterday, the Manhattan Fire Protection District responded to 57 calls for service following the severe weather system that moved through our area. Calls included mutual aid structure fires, fire alarms, carbon monoxide (CO) activations, EMS incidents, and other storm-related emergencies.

Many residents throughout Manhattan and Peotone remain without power and are relying on generators. Whether you are using a portable generator or a permanently installed whole-house generator, carbon monoxide is a serious concern.

PORTABLE GENERATORS
• Keep generators at least 20 feet away from your home, doors, windows, and vents.
• Position the generator so exhaust blows downwind and away from the home.
• Never operate a generator inside your home, garage, basement, or other enclosed space.
• Make sure your home has working CO alarms.

🏠 WHOLE-HOUSE GENERATORS & CO SAFETY

Whole-house standby generators are installed outdoors, but they are still fuel-burning engines that produce carbon monoxide. Because they are often located close to the home, exhaust can potentially enter through doors, windows, vents, soffits, or other openings.

If you have a whole-house generator:

• Make sure it was professionally installed and properly located according to manufacturer requirements and applicable codes.
• Have working CO alarms on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas.
• Test your CO alarms regularly and replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Never ignore a CO alarm—especially while your generator is running.

🚨 If a CO alarm activates, get everyone outside to fresh air immediately and call 911.

⛈️ Another round of severe weather is expected in our area. Please remain weather aware and take all watches and warnings seriously. We have seen firsthand the impact these storms can have on our communities.

Please stay safe, Manhattan, Wilton Center & Peotone.
