Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week is Nov. 1-7 2023
Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week is Nov. 1-7 and Brock Township Fire Department is reminding residents to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms and test them monthly.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas produced when fuels like propane, gasoline, natural gas, heating oil or wood have insufficient air to burn thoroughly.
Exposure to the gas can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea and dizziness, as well as confusion, drowsiness, and loss of consciousness and can be fatal in high concentrations.
