Turn clocks back an hour Sunday and change batteries by David Lea Oakville Beaver Staff 3 | Friday, October 30, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com The Oakville Fire Department will recognize Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Week (Nov. 1-7) by educating residents about the dangers of CO poisoning and reminding them to replace batteries in their CO and smoke alarms when they change their clocks to end Daylight Savings Time on Nov. 1. Known as the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, tasteless and odourless gas that can be deadly. "If your CO alarm sounds, and you or other occupants suffer from symptoms of CO poisoning, get everyone out immediately. Then call 911 from outside the building," said Glenn Barwell, public education officer with the Oakville Fire department. "Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms, such as headaches, nausea, dizziness and loss of consciousness." CO alarms are now mandatory in homes and other residential buildings. If a home has fuel-burning appliances or an attached garage, install a CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area. Inspect all fuel-burning appliances annually and test CO and smoke detectors on a regular basis. The Oakville Fire Department said properlyworking smoke and carbon monoxide alarms can save lives and noted nearly half of all fatal fires in Ontario occur because there are no working smoke alarms in the home. Smoke alarms are required on every storey and outside each sleeping area. The Oakville Fire Department recommends installing a smoke alarm inside all bedrooms.
