But please remember: carbon monoxide (CO) can be an invisible danger in your home. Whether you're using a gas, wood-burning, or electric fireplace, it’s crucial to take steps to protect yourself and your family from this silent killer.
Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:
Install carbon monoxide alarms near all fuel burning appliances, tools, and fireplaces.
Have your chimney inspected and cleaned annually to avoid blockages that could trap carbon monoxide inside.
Never leave a fire burning unattended and always make sure the fire is completely out before going to bed.
