As New Hampshire prepares for the upcoming winter season, the State Fire Marshal’s Office is encouraging residents to take simple but critical steps to prevent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Install CO alarms outside every sleeping area and on every level of your home.
Have your heating system serviced annually.
Never run generators indoors or in enclosed spaces.
If your CO alarm sounds, evacuate immediately, then call 911.
More information is available from the NH State Fire Marshal’s Office or at the Fire Department.
