CLEAR VENTS OF SNOW, ICE AROUND YOUR HOME TO HELP PREVENT CO POISONING
Winter weather can create a hidden danger around your home.
Snow and ice can block furnace, dryer, and fireplace vents, allowing carbon monoxide to build up indoors. Officials are urging residents to take a few minutes to clear snow away from vents after winter storms.
Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas often called a silent killer, making working CO alarms an important safety step in every home. If you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, get everyone outside immediately and call 9-1-1.
