Protect your family from carbon monoxide this @GasSafetyWeek!
CO gas has no smell, taste, or colour - so make sure you know the 6 signs of carbon monoxide poisoning…

It’s been a tragic week for the city, and we’ll do all we can to stop it happening again. But the weather is nice and children are off school this week, so please watch this short video and show it to anyone who might be playing around water.

Another tragic reminder that #CO does not discriminate. As the summer is approaching a timely reminder to take a portable #COalarm with you if you're travelling abroad. It could save you and your family.

A fleet of 20 decommissioned fire engines is preparing to travel from the UK to Ukraine.
The vehicles, which are carrying life-saving equipment and supplies, will be donated to the war-torn country.
＠KatyRickittITV reports from Liverpool where 8 fire engines are getting ready to set off.

Did you know that carbon monoxide is responsible for an estimated 400 deaths and 20,000 emergency room visits each year in the United States alone? This silent killer is a serious threat to the health and well-being of our communities.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous
gas, which can kill quickly with no warning. Don’t
mistake the symptoms for the flu. Gas appliances that
are badly
fitted or faulty can put you at risk. Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Cats, dogs, birds, and other pets are at risk of CO poisoning just like humans. Symptoms can range from lethargy and vomiting to seizures and even death. Don't take chances with your pet's well-being. Install CO detectors and have your HVAC systems checked regularly.

🚨URGENT SAFETY MESSAGE🚨
We’re seeing an increase in calls to houses where these coals (and similar) are being burned indoors as incense. The carbon monoxide reading in this small house was 600ppm which poses a serious risk of death. The occupiers felt unwell… 1/2
