Two heartbreaking Florida tragedies. One invisible danger.
An elderly Neptune Beach couple and an Ocala family lost their lives to suspected CO poisonings. These stories are devastating and they are preventable. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer and Florida’s Poison Control Centers continue to see how quickly it can turn deadly. Recent interviews highlight real cases, including tragedies linked to push to start vehicles and exposures inside the home. Awareness and prevention truly save lives.

🎥 Watch the interviews:

Common sources of carbon monoxide
• Push-to-start vehicles left running in garages
• Generators used indoors or too close to the home
• Malfunctioning furnaces, water heaters, or gas appliances
• Charcoal grills or camp stoves used indoors
• Blocked vents or chimneys

How to protect your family
🚨 Install CO alarms near sleeping areas and on every level
🚗 Never run a vehicle in a garage — even if the door is open
⚡ Keep generators at least 20 feet from doors and windows
🔧 Have gas appliances inspected regularly
🌬️ If a CO alarm sounds, leave immediately and get fresh air

If you think you’ve been exposed, get outside and call the Help line: 1-800-222-1222. Free, confidential, expert help 24/7/365.
