Carbon Monoxide

Never use portable heaters or lanterns while sleeping in enclosed areas such as tents, campers, and other vehicles.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is called the "invisible killer." You cannot see or smell it, but a carbon monoxide alarm can detect CO. That is why it is so important to have CO alarms in your home.

Always use portable generators outside, far from the home. Never operate a generator inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace or shed, or near a window or exterior vent.
