#StratfordPEI - we are discovering fire hydrants blocked with debris. NEVER block a fire hydrant under any circumstance. Crews will be required to push debris back onto the homeowners property as access to fire hydrants is imperative at all times. Thank you for your cooperation.

4. Install carbon monoxide alarms in your home, one on every level and outside each separate sleeping area. If you choose a plug-in type CO alarm, make sure that it also has battery backup. Test alarms monthly. Replace them if they fail to respond correctly when tested.

5. If you start to feel sick/dizzy/weak while a generator is in use, get outside to fresh air RIGHT AWAY then call 911! 6. Never enter enclosed or semi-enclosed area where generator is/has been operating. Lethal levels of CO can be present several hours after it stopped running.
