Indian Time - A Voice from the Eastern Door

• Install carbon monoxide alarms on every floor of a home. Such alarms are required on every floor of new home construction.

• Inspect all fuel-burning equipment every year. Make sure that all gas heaters are properly vented to the outside.

• Do not use a gas range or oven to warm up a home.

• Do not use a gas or charcoal grill indoors or inside a garage. The fumes are deadly.

• Do not use a gas generator in a home, garage, basement or any enclosed space. Generators should be located at least 20 feet from any window, door or vent -- preferably in a space where rain and snow does not reach them.

• Never use an electric generator indoors, in the basement, inside the garage, near open windows, or the air intake of a home.

• Plug in appliances to the generator using only individual heavy-duty, outdoor-rated electrical cords.

• Never leave a vehicle running while parked in a garage attached to a home.

• Have vehicles’ mufflers and tailpipes checked on a regular basis.
