During cold and snowy weather, the threat of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is at its worst. Carbon monoxide, often called an “invisible” or “silent” killer, is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion.

Every year, more than 25,000 residential fires begin as chimney fires.

Every year, fire departments respond to numerous fires caused by improper disposal of ash and coals from firepits, fireplaces, wood stoves, pellet stoves, and grills.

Today's house fires burn hotter and faster than ever before. People used to have around fifteen minutes to escape a house fire. We now build and furnish our homes with a lot of synthetic materials that burn so fast that you may have less than two minutes to get out after a fire starts.

Propane, also called LPG or LP gas (liquefied petroleum gas), is a liquid fuel stored under pressure which is, in most systems, vaporized to a gas before it leaves the tank. When mixed with air, propane is extremely flammable and can be ignited by open flames, cigarettes, electrical sparks, and even static electricity.
