1. CARBON MONOXIDE AWARENESS
More than 400 people die each year in the U.S. from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
CO is invisible, odorless, and colorless
CO is caused by fuels that burn like wood or charcoal, or make heat or energy using carbon-based fuels like natural gas, propane, oil, gasoline or diesel engines
Ensure proper installation, operation and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances in the home
Have working CO alarms in the home located on each level and outside bedrooms
Plug-in types should have a battery back-up if power is lost
If a CO detector sounds, get outside immediately and call 911
