The Town of Perth is reminding residents to take simple safety steps this season to keep their homes safe and comfortable. As temperatures drop, officials say it’s a good time to check both inside and outside the house for potential hazards.
Homeowners are urged to make sure furnace vents are clear to prevent carbon monoxide buildup, and to store gasoline and propane safely outdoors in approved containers. Indoors, residents should have their furnace, fireplace, and chimney inspected and keep air vents free from furniture or clutter.
The Town also reminds everyone to change smoke and carbon monoxide alarm batteries when adjusting clocks for daylight saving time.
A few small actions now, officials say, can make a big difference in preventing accidents later. The Town of Perth encourages everyone to stay warm, safe, and prepared for the colder months ahead.
