With the cooler weather setting in, fire officials are reminding us to make sure that we have working Carbon Monoxide Alarms in our homes.
Smiths Falls Fire Prevention Officer Jason Smith says there’s a way to double up on safety.
That way you’re covered in case of fire, or a CO leak. Smith also says it’s important to make sure you know where to place the alarms.
Fire departments across the country see calls every winter after people have used the wrong heaters in homes, or tried to BBQ inside the garage or even homes, during extreme cold and power outages.
CO alarms become your fist line of defense during a gas leak emergency.
