November is National Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Month.

CO, known as the “invisible killer,” is a colorless, odorless gas that sends over 100,000 people to the emergency room and causes more than 1,200 deaths in the U.S. each year.

CO poisoning can happen quickly and causes symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and loss of consciousness, and in severe cases, death. This winter, take time to protect your family from CO poisoning by following these safety tips:

- Install CO alarms outside each sleeping area, on every level of your home.
- Test alarms monthly and replace them according to the manufacturer.
- Never run vehicles, generators, or fuel-burning equipment inside garages or enclosed spaces, even if doors are open.
- Keep dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace vents clear of snow and ice.
- Only use generators outdoors, away from windows, doors, and vents.
- If your CO alarm sounds, get everyone outside to fresh air immediately and call 911 from a safe location.

If you live within the Central Pierce Fire & Rescue district, visit the link in our bio to request a free alarm today.

The CO alarms being given to our community were purchased through Federal Grant Funds provided by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and authorized through the Nicholas and Zachary Burt Memorial Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2022. ...
