THE FANWOOD POLICE REMINDS YOU TO BE HOME SAFE….ACT NOW AND CHECK YOUR HOME HEATING SYSTEM AND GUARD AGAINST CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

·      HAVE YOUR FURNACE/HEATING SYSTEM SERVICED REGULARLY

·      CHECK THE SYSTEM BEFORE THE WINTER SEASON

·      PLACE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS ON EVERY FLOOR OF YOUR HOME

·      REMEMBER, CARBON MONOXIDE IS ODORLESS AND TASTELESS. IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS AND DEATH .

*  DON’T TRY TO REPAIR THE SYSTEM YOURSELF. SIMPLY OPENING THE WINDOWS WILL NOT STOP A FAULTY SYSTEM FROM POTENTIALLY HARMING YOU. AN OPEN WINDOW WILL CAUSE THE FURNACE TO CONTINUE RUNNING, IF THE SYSTEM IS FAULTY YOU ARE JUST ADDING MORE DEADLY FUMES INTO YOUR HOME.

 ·        WHILE YOU ARE AT IT CHECK THE BATTERIES IN ALL OF YOUR         SMOKE ALARMS TOO! 

 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS   DON’T DELAY. CALL YOUR UTILITY OR HEATING OIL PROVIDER.. YOU CAN ALSO CALL THE FANWOOD FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR SAFETY SUGGESTIONS AND ANSWERS TO YOUR CONCERNS
