Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Safety Tips to Avoid

According to the National Fire Prevention Association, the ability to get out of your home during a fire depends on advance warning from smoke alarms and thoughtful planning. Fire can spread rapidly through your home, leaving you as little as one or two minutes to escape safely once the smoke alarm sounds.
