Carbon monoxide poisoning info

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas that can kill. Carbon monoxide comes from burning fuels such as gasoline, propane, oil, kerosene, natural gas, coal or wood. Carbon monoxide poisoning is preventable:
Only use a generator outdoors and far from open windows and vents.
Never use a generator indoors, in garages or carports.
Never use a gas or charcoal grill, hibachi, or portable propane heater to cook indoors or heat your home.
Avoid combustion “space heaters” unless there is an exhaust vent. Never fill a Space Heater indoors!
Carbon monoxide poisoning can strike suddenly and without warning. Physical symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include splitting headache, nausea, vomiting, lethargy and fatigue. If you or a family member believes that they could be experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning, get out of the property and call 911 immediately from a neighbor’s home.
