Did you know?
Portable generators are useful during winter storms, but if not used safely, they can cause injuries and death.
• Use portable generators outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from all doors, windows, and vents.
• Make sure you have carbon monoxide alarms in your home.
• Do not use a generator in a wet area. This can cause shock or electrocution.
• Connect appliances to the generator with heavy-duty extension cords.
• Do not fuel your generator when it is running. Spilling gas on a hot engine can cause a fire.
