New Fairfield firefighters respond to CO issues due to increased generator use

The New Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department has responded to many calls for carbon monoxide detectors going off in the past 12 hours. Residents are asked to move generators farther away from homes.  A generator, grill, camp stove or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal-burning device should never be used inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace or any partially enclosed area.  Although CO can't be seen or smelled, it can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death. Even if you cannot smell exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to CO. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to fresh air right away.  Non-potable water will be available in front of New Fairfield Middle School from 9AM to 7PM every day this week through Sunday.  Residents should bring their own containers.
