❄️❄️New London First Responders Safety Reminder During Blizzard ELSA❄️❄️
During heavy snow and blizzard conditions, furnace intake and exhaust vents outside your home can become blocked by snow or ice 🧊When this happens, dangerous carbon monoxide (CO) can build up inside your home.
🚨 Take a few minutes today to check:
• Clear snow away from furnace intake and exhaust pipes
• Make sure vents are at least 1–2 feet free of snow
• Check that outside vents are not covered by drifting snow
• Ensure your carbon monoxide detectors are working
⚠️Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless and can become deadly quickly⚠️
Stay safe New London Community, and remember to check on neighbors, especially the elderly.
