Generators can be helpful during power outages, but using them incorrectly can be extremely dangerous. Proper placement and use are key to keeping your family safe.

Safety Tips:

Use generators outdoors only and keep them at least 20 feet away from your home. Always point the exhaust away from doors, windows, and vents to prevent carbon monoxide from entering.

Never run a generator in a garage, basement, or near openings. Even if doors or windows are open, dangerous carbon monoxide can build up quickly.

Place generators on a dry, stable surface. Keep them protected from rain when possible, but never operate them indoors or in enclosed spaces.

Using generators the right way helps prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and keeps your home safe during outages.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the “invisible killer” because it is colorless, odorless, and can build up in your home without warning. CO is produced when fuels like gas, wood, propane, or oil burn.

Safety Tips:
1. Install carbon monoxide detectors on every level of your home and near sleeping areas

2.Test CO alarms monthly and replace batteries when needed

3.Never run generators, grills, or vehicles inside garages or homes

4. Make sure vents and exhaust pipes are clear of snow and debris

If your CO alarm goes off: Get outside to fresh air immediately and call for help.

Large amounts of stored items can block exits, cover electrical outlets, and place flammable materials too close to stoves or heaters. This not only increases fire danger but can also make it difficult for firefighters to move safely through the home during an emergency.

Safety Reminders:
✔ Keep hallways, doorways, and exits clear

✔ Avoid placing items near stoves, heaters, or electrical outlets

✔ Make sure smoke alarms are installed and tested monthly

✔ Have a home fire escape plan and practice it regularly

Small steps can make a big difference in keeping your home and your loved ones safe.
