SKU: 10097474/5 10 Acton/Georgetown, Friday, January 4, 2008 In light of the increasing num- ber of false alarm carbon monoxide detector calls Halton Hills firefight- ers have responded to recently, the fire department is offering several tips to homeowners to ensure the detectors are working properly. 1. Vacuum and dust carbon monoxide detectors at least once a month as they do gather dust. 2. Install them in the locations recommended by the manufactur- er. 3. If battery operated, change them when you change your clocks. 4. Read and understand all the manufacturers instructions/specifi- cations. 5. Have gas-f ired appliances checked/inspected annually to ensure there are no problems with the appliances. Preventative main- tenance goes a long way. 6. During winter months make sure blowing and drifting snow doesnt plug chimneys. 7. Inspect all chimneys in the fall to ensure birds, raccoons or squirrels havent built any nests. 8. Do not run any vehicles or equipment in the garage. Exhaust fumes can easi ly seep through doors and into the house. 9. Consider replacing the device when it reaches seven to ten years old. Keeping your devices clean and dust-free, following all the manu- facturers specifications will often eliminate false alarms, said Halton Hil ls Fire Protect ion and Prevention Services Chief of Prevention and Public Education Harry Olivieri. Unfortunately, those false alarms will provide a false sense of security. He stressed people must pay attention to the inherent dangers of carbon monoxide and conse- quences that could result from exposure to carbon monoxide. If you have been exposed to carbon monoxide you will most likely experience flu-like symp- toms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, confusion and even loss of consiousness, said Olivieri.
