🚨 Malvern Fire Company Safety Reminder: Generator Use 🚨

As we respond to storms and power outages in our community, your safety remains our top priority. If you plan to use a generator, please follow these critical safety tips:

πŸ”Œ Place generators at least 20 feet from your home β€” and always away from doors, windows, and HVAC systems to prevent deadly carbon monoxide (CO) from getting inside.

🏠 Never run a generator indoors β€” this includes your home, garage, basement, or any enclosed area.

πŸ›‘ Install carbon monoxide detectors on every level of your home, especially near sleeping areas, and make sure they’re working properly.

Stay safe, Malvern β€” and if you ever suspect carbon monoxide exposure, evacuate immediately and call 911.
