With another
winter storm on the way for
Long Island, it is important to remember these safety tips from the
Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for staying safe inside:
- Use fireplace, wood stoves, or other combustion heaters only if they are properly vented to the outside and do not leak flue gas into the indoor air space.
- Never use a charcoal or gas grill indoors—the fumes are deadly.
- Never leave lit candles unattended.
- Keep as much heat as possible inside your home.
- Check the temperature in your home often during severely cold weather.
- Leave all water taps slightly open so they drip continuously.
- Eat well-balanced meals to help you stay warmer.
Visit the CDC website linked to the title of this post for more information.
