You can’t see it. You can’t smell it. But you can stop it—with a working carbon monoxide alarm. This simple step could save lives:
✅ Install alarms outside all sleeping areas.
Starting January 1, Ontario Fire Code changes require alarms on every storey of your home. Learn more at Ontario.ca/CarbonMonoxide.
✅ Test monthly. Press the button and listen for the beep!
✅ Change batteries annually.
✅ Replace alarms every 10 years or as per manufacturer’s instructions.
✅ If the alarm sounds—get out immediately and call 9-1-1 from outside.
🎁 The simplest gift you can give your family this season? A working carbon monoxide alarm.
