Request Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detectors

 

Request for Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detectors

 Often called the invisible killer, carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel are potential sources of carbon monoxide. Vehicles or generators running in an attached garage can also produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Members of the Syracuse Fire Department will come and install Carbon Monoxide Detectors in 1 and 2 family dwellings.
