- The weather's getting warmer, the bikes are on the road,
& your allergies are making you miserable. That can only mean one
thing...SPRING IS HERE & SO IS OUTDOOR GRILLING!!! The tastes &
smells of hot dogs, brats, & burgers is a welcome sight. But grilling
accidents can make your barbecue kick-off memorable for all the wrong
reasons. The Silver Creek Fire Department wishes everyone a safe &
enjoyable grilling season. Check out the video above & these helpful

carbon monoxide |
|
 |
February 20th, 2010
- Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless,
tasteless gas produced by incomplete combustion. Any fuel
burning appliances, vehicle, tool, or other device has the
potential to produce dangerous levels of CO.
 Fuel
fired furnaces (non-electric)
Gas
Water Heaters
Fireplaces
and Woodstoves
Gas
Stoves
Gas
Dryers
Charcoal
Grills
Motorized
Yard Equipment
Automobiles
It kills thousands of people each year, and injures many
more. Since you cannot see, taste, or smell carbon
monoxide, a Carbon Monoxide detector is the only way to
alert you to increasingly dangerous levels of carbon
monoxide before tragedy strikes. The Silver Creek Fire
Department urges you to take a few minutes to read some
information on Carbon Monoxide, published by the US
Consumer Product Safety Commission.
