Always provide adequate ventilation when using wood stoves and fireplaces and ensure proper installation, adjustment and operation of all flame-burning appliances. Never use an oven or gas range to heat the house. These appliances use the existing oxygen supply. Never burn charcoal inside a home or other enclosed space. Always ventilate generators used to run cleaning equipment, pump water or supply electricity to a home.
Generators used in a garage can result in fumes seeping into the home.
Install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors in the home.
