STUDENT INFO
Fire Safety Announcement-Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a gas you cannot see, taste, or smell. It is often called “the invisible killer”. It is created when fossil fuels such as kerosene, gasoline, coal, natural gas, propane, methane, or wood don’t burn completely. CO gas kills people and pets.
Headaches, nausea, and drowsiness are symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Exposure can be fatal. CO alarms shall be installed outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for placement and mounting height. Test CO detectors monthly and replace if they fail to respond. If CO alarm sounds, immediately exit per your home escape plan and call 911. Do not go back until the fire department personnel declare it is safe to re-enter the home.
