*** Winter Carbon Monoxide (CO) Safety – Cowlitz County ***
#DYK the risk of CO exposure at home is more prevalent in winter than in any other season? This risk has been highlighted here in Washington with the recent deaths of a couple in Point Roberts and three family members in Selah. And deaths continue to happen with alarming regularity across the country related to misuse of gas generators, especially during storm-related power outages.
To help raise awareness of this danger locally and to help ensure that residents have access to free alarms, 50 #carbonmonoxide alarms have been donated to Cowlitz County Fire Departments.
We are grateful to local businesses whose generous donations allow us to provide free CO alarms to our community.
Thank you to our local Fire Departments for supporting this effort and helping our community be CO safe.
