SUMMARY:Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week\, November 1-7
DESCRIPTION:The Municipality of Huron Shores –  Ontario’s Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week runs from November 1-7\, and the Huron Shores Fire Department reminds you to prevent carbon monoxide (CO) in your home by getting all fuel-burning appliances inspected annually. \n“In Ontario\, more than 80% of injuries and deaths from CO occur in the home\,” said The Municipality of Huron Shores Fire Chief Gib Medve. “We want to make sure everyone is safe from CO. Get all fuel-burning appliances inspected by a registered contractor.” Visit COSafety.ca to find a registered contractor near you. \nThe Huron Shores Fire Department also reminds you to install CO alarms in your home if you have a fuel-burning appliance\, a fireplace or an attached garage. Fuel-burning appliances can include furnaces\, hot water heaters\, gas or wood fireplaces\, portable fuel-burning heaters and generators\, barbeques\, stoves and vehicles. \n“You must have a working CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area of the home if your home has a fuel-burning appliance\, a fireplace or an attached garage\,” said Chief Gib Medve. “For added protection\, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every storey of the home according to manufacturer’s instructions.” \nIf you live in a condo or apartment building with a service room\, CO alarms must be installed in the service room and adjacent to each sleeping area of all homes above\, below and beside the service room. In condo or apartment buildings that have a garage\, CO alarms must be installed adjacent to each sleeping area of all homes above\, below and beside the garage. \nWhat is CO? \n\nCO is known as the silent killer because it is an invisible\, tasteless and odourless gas that can be deadly.\nCO is produced when fuels such as propane\, gasoline\, natural gas\, heating oil or wood do not burn completely in fuel-burning appliances and devices such as furnaces\, gas or wood fireplaces\, hot water heaters\, stoves\, barbeques\, portable fuel-burning heaters and generators and vehicles.\n\nPrevent CO in your home: \n\nEnsure fuel-burning appliances\, chimneys and vents are cleaned and inspected annually. Visit COSafety.ca to find a registered contractor near you.\nCheck that all outside appliance vents are not blocked.\nGas and charcoal barbeques should only be used outside\, away from all doors\, windows\, vents\, and other building openings. Never use barbeques inside garages\, even if the garage doors are open.\nPortable fuel-burning generators should only be used outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from windows\, doors\, vents and other building openings.\nEnsure all portable fuel-burning heaters are vented properly\, according to manufacturer’s instructions.\nNever use the stove or oven to heat your home.\nOpen the flu before using a fireplace for adequate ventilation.\nNever run a vehicle or other fueled engine or motor inside a garage\, even if the garage doors are open. Always remove a vehicle from the garage immediately after starting it.\n\nKnow the symptoms of CO: \n\nExposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches\, nausea\, dizziness\, as well as confusion\, drowsiness\, loss of consciousness and death.\nIf your CO alarm sounds\, and you or other occupants suffer from symptoms of CO poisoning\, get everyone out of the home immediately. Then call 9-1-1 or your local emergency services number from outside the building.\nIf your CO alarm sounds\, and no one is suffering from symptoms of CO poisoning\, check to see if the battery needs replacing\, or the alarm has reached its “end-of-life” before calling 9-1-1.\n\nKnow the sound of your CO alarm: \n\nYour CO alarm sounds different than your smoke alarm. Test both alarms monthly and make sure everyone in your home knows the difference between the two alarm sounds.\nDon’t be confused by the sound of your CO alarm’s low-battery warning. Follow your CO alarm manufacturer’s instructions so you know the difference between the low-battery warning\, the “end-of-life” warning\, and the alarm alerting you to the presence of CO in your home.\n\nFor more CO safety tips\, visit the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management’s website and COsafety.ca.
