Carbon monoxide safety tips
The Buffalo Grove Fire Department reminds residents to take safety precautions relating carbon monoxide (CO) gas, which is nicknamed the 'silent killer' because it cannot be seen or smelled. CO alarms should be installed outside of every sleeping area and should be tested at least once per month. If a CO alarm sounds in a home, residents must get fresh air immediately and then call 9-1-1 from a fresh air location. During and after a snowstorm, residents should make sure vents for dryers, furnaces, stoves and fireplaces are clear of snow. For more safety tips, please visit Carbon Monoxide Info.
