As catastrophic winter storms continue to rage across the United States, millions of consumers are without power in dangerously low temperatures. If you use portable generators or other combustion devices for sources of power and heat, you are at increased risk of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and fire. Dozens of storm-related fatalities have been reported, including deaths from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, after consumers operated generators or charcoal grills inside their homes, or ran cars inside their garages trying to stay warm.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to protect themselves against carbon monoxide poisoning and fires. Poisonous carbon monoxide from a portable generator can kill you and your family in minutes. CO is an invisible killer. It’s colorless and odorless. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 400 people die each year in the United States from CO poisoning. CPSC estimates about 70 consumers die each year from CO poisoning caused by portable generators.
Follow CPSC’s safety tips below to help keep your family safe:

Remember, as you deal with the storm’s havoc, stay informed, take action and be safe!

In the month of December, the Chesterfield Fire Department will be giving out free smoke detectors. If you know a family or senior citizen that may be in need of new smoke detectors, please nominate them by sending an email to prevention@chesterfieldfire.org or by going to our web site www.chesterfieldfire.org/smoke-alarm-giveaway and completing the nomination form.

The program is limited to residents of Chesterfield Township; we have a limited supply, and recipients will be randomly selected. Once recipients are selected, they will be contacted by our Prevention Bureau to schedule an installation appointment.
Smoke alarms are important tools that can provide you with a lifesaving alert, giving you the chance to escape their homes in the event of a fire. The Chesterfield Township Fire Department is working to provide these alarms for free of charge to our residents who need assistance.
Smoke detectors will save lives as long as they have a functioning battery. It will always be there for you, so if you have a fire, it will alert you that there may be a fire in your home. It can’t be said enough that smoke detectors save lives.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration website, every year in the United States about 2,500 people die in home fires; most of these deaths occur in homes that didn’t have a working smoke alarm.
