The experience and learning opportunities that each person receives has served to be a valuable component to the education and training that is required for future employment. The Campaign could not have happened without the support and involvement from the Community Sponsors. Stove Wood or Gas Fireplace Automobile and Garage Gas Water Heater Gas Appliances Gas or Kerosene Heater Gas or Oil Furnace Cigarette Smoke Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, toxic gas which is produced as a result of combustion. It can be emitted in living areas of buildings and effect the health of people when a malfunction occurs in an appliance. Fuel burning furnaces and water heaters, gas heaters, fireplaces, and woodstoves are examples of some of the appliances which can emit dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
Many situations warrant the use of two or more detectors to provide optimal safety.
Carbon monoxide detectors should be tested and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Special test kits will become available in the near future - more information on these kits will be presented later. The Aurora Fire and Emergency Services Department provides station tours upon request from the public, and service groups such as Girl Guides, Beavers and Boy Scouts. In these tours the public is able to see some of the equipment used in the fire service as well as fire safety information. There are no special events at this time.
