Winter Air Safety

Kersha Cartwright, Neighbor

From Assured Comfort Heating and Air in Douglasville and Smyrna:

During the inclement weather, please remember: Safety First!
1. If you lose power and utilize a generator, keep the generator 10 - 15 feet or more away from your house. Do not keep it in the garage. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a real danger.
2. Do not burn propane or use an outdoor grill in your home. Make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector with good batteries.
3. Keep children away from trees with icy branches and off of frozen lakes and ponds.
Stay warm, folks, and make good things happen!
