Carbon Monoxide, A Constant Danger
Carbon monoxide is a constant danger during the winter months. Have you installed yours? It is the law in Minnesota that all residences will have CO alarms. But much like your smoke detectors, CO alarms need to be tested and batteries replaced regularly. Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. It kills hundreds of people yearly, and it is totally avoidable simply by having a UL compliant CO alarm in your home. Have your furnace and water heater checked annually and keep your CO alarms near your sleeping quarters and near the appliances that burn fossil fuels.
