Prevent fires/burns: Place space heaters at least 3ft away from everything. Turn them off when you leave the room or go to bed.

Clean your roofs and gutters of debris annually, if not bi-annually. Keep a ladder and garden hose that can reach your roof. Chimneys must be inspected and cleaned bi-annually. Build a firebreak or gap in combustible material as a barrier around your house, like a river, lake, canyon, road or highway. Consult your local fire department and work with an experienced contractor who is familiar with the fire issues in your area.

Plant fire resistant trees and shrubs. Consult your home improvement social network for their landscape ideas for your locale. Remove branches that are below 10 feet high. Clear away dry and damaged vegetation or tree limbs which are fire fuel.

Purchase fire extinguishers that can handle a variety of fire types and place them in easily accessible places. With your household, make an easily executable fast evacuation plan complete with post evacuation meet up locations. Prepare ‘go bags” or a bag with a change or two of clothes, important papers, water and any necessary medication for all members of your household.

Though parts of these tasks are part of home maintenance, they are absolutely imperative for areas that are endangered by fire concerns. Even if you do not live in a fire prone area, maintain a safe interior. Finally, all smoke detectors, regardless of type, should be replaced every 8 to 10 years to ensure optimal operation.

Some things bear repeating. You’ve probably heard about radon, an invisible, odorless and poisonous gas that causes tens of thousands of deaths each year. The gas is also the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. To call attention to this danger, the Environmental Protection Agency has declared January “National Radon Action Month.” Information about radon is available at www.ncradon.org.

Kits are available to help you determine whether your home has harmful levels of radon gas. First Alert Radon Gas Kit, available at hardware and other stores, is one. You can also get free kits from the state. Information about ordering a kit is at www.ncradon.org/free testkits_jan2010.htm

Answer: The unit may go into alarm only when it is very cold out or if a door adjacent to a heated area is opened, such as in an entry way. This is due to condensation (water vapor) in the detection chamber. The sensor is a particle-sensing device and when water condenses in the sensor, the unit will go into alarm. The operating temperature on FireX smoke alarms is between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit (4 – 38 degrees Celsius). If the unit is in a garage or attic, you may consider replacing it with a heat alarm which is not effected by condensation.

By purchasing a carbon monoxide detector: One of these detectors will protect you and your family in case anything goes wrong with your furnace or other gas-burning appliances. Known as a silent killer, carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and — with sufficient exposure — can cause death. The simplest way to know if you have this poison in your air is to monitor with a carbon monoxide (CO) detector. Units are available at most local hardware stores, and many can simply be plugged into an outlet with no further installation required. You’ll have peace of mind for a tiny financial outlay.

The Kidde KN-COPP-3 AC powered, plug in carbon monoxide alarm provides you and your family with warning signal to protect against dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home.

The Kidde KN-COPP-3 AC powered, plug-in carbon monoxide alarm utilizes sophisticated electronic components and unmatched sensor technology to protect you and your family from the dangers of CO. The KN-COPP-3 includes a 9V battery backup that provides continuous monitoring of CO levels, even during power outages, when AC-only units are not providing protection. The KN-COPP-3 will detect and store measured data of concentrated CO levels as low as 11 and up to 999 PPM with its peak level memory display. This alarm gives you several mounting options, including: direct-plug and table top.

Accidental carbon monoxide poisonings peak in the winter because of faulty furnaces or other heaters

There is a law requiring carbon monoxide detectors to be in single family homes and multi-family apartments, but one place where they aren’t required are ice houses.

Ice fishermen are at a high risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, because a small house and a faulty heater can lead to a quick and silent death from carbon monoxide poisoning. This is due to the use of liquid propane heaters and not enough fresh air in a small house, which can be deadly.

Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Wayne Goodwin announced that beginning Jan. 1, North Carolina landlords will be required by law to install at least one battery or electric carbon monoxide alarm on each level of each rental unit. Often called the silent killer, carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas that is created when a fuel source burns incompletely. In 2005, municipal fire departments nationwide responded to an estimated 61,100 carbon monoxide incidents. January and December were the peak months for CO incidents and the peak time of day was between 6-10 p.m.

Under the new state law, landlords must ensure that the carbon monoxide appliance is operating at the beginning of each new lease. They must repair or replace the alarm within 15 days of being notified in writing of a need for repair or replacement and may be fined if they are out of compliance.
