Colder weather means before long, heating sources will be operational. The weather this week is expected to slide back into more seasonal fall temperatures.
Many will be heating their homes with either wood or natural gas this colder weather season– meaning the use of carbon monoxide detectors are vital. That C-O detector check goes along with a normal smoke alarm review.
Vincennes Fire Chief Brett Bobe reminds everyone with natural gas, or a wood-burning fireplaces, to keep those C-O detectors working.
A possibly defective C-O alarmcan cause concern,. However, Bobe reminds you, if your carbon monoxide alarmsounds for any reason, contact the Department to check both your detector– and your house.
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, and can be harmful or deadly.
