Winter Safety Tips: How to Avoid Carbon Monoxide Hazards

The aftermath of blizzards brings about hazards related to snow on roofs and dangers relating to carbon monoxide. Yankee Gas created a YouTube video detailing safety during winter storms.

 

Governor Dannel P. Malloy said storm clean-up will take a 'number of days.' He noted the following safety tips:

  • Make sure vents to household appliances like dryers are not blocked by snow. If blocked, carbon monoxide could build up inside and prove deadly.
  • Generators should be properly ventilated to the outdoors.
  • If you live near a fire hydrant, dig it out so firemen can access in the event of an emergency.
