Carbon Monoxide Safety During Winter MonthsThe risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning increases during the winter, as colder temperatures cause home heating systems to run longer and more frequently. Often referred to as the “silent killer,” carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, and colorless gas produced when fuels such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, or methane do not burn completely. Carbon monoxide alarms provide early warning when unsafe levels of CO are present in your home. The Lombard Fire Department recommends installing CO alarms on every level of the home, particularly in homes with fuel-burning appliances or an attached garage. If you ever suspect a carbon monoxide issue, call 911 immediately. When it comes to CO, it is always safer to act quickly.
