In honor of Carbon Monoxide Awareness Day on September 18 of each year, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) and the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office (SFMO) are sharing carbon monoxide safety messages to help save lives from the “silent killer.”

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas created when natural fuels used in household items such as heaters or gas-powered generators burn incompletely. In the home, barbecue grills, fireplaces, and fuel-powered heaters are potential CO sources. Outdoors, generators are used by campers and RV owners during recreation activities. After severe weather, generators are also frequently used to provide power if a home or business’s electrical system or power supply has been damaged or destroyed.

Breathing high levels of carbon monoxide can cause loss of consciousness or even death. Common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, and confusion. Many of these symptoms are similar to common colds or seasonal flu.

When using any fuel-burning equipment that might create CO, Tennesseans can avoid sickness by remembering the following tips:

-Never use a gas generator inside your home, garage, carport basement, crawlspace, or outside near a window, door, or vent. A generator should only be used outdoors and at least 15 feet away from buildings. It is dangerous to use a gas or kerosene heater inside a home or other building.

-Never use a gas range or gas oven to heat your home. Do not use a gas or charcoal grill indoors, and do not burn charcoal in your fireplace.

-Do not run a vehicle or other fueled engines or motors indoors, even if garage doors are open.

-Do not use fuel-powered equipment in a garage or enclosed area.

Crockett County Fire Chiefs: Carbon Monoxide Awareness Day

As we observe Carbon Monoxide Awareness Day on September 18, the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance and the State Fire Marshal’s Office are urging all residents to prioritize safety by checking their carbon monoxide (CO) detectors and reviewing best practices. Known as the “silent killer,” carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that can result from incomplete fuel combustion in appliances such as heaters, fireplaces, grills, or generators.

High levels of CO exposure can lead to severe health issues, including dizziness, nausea, loss of consciousness, and even death. This day serves as a poignant reminder, commemorating five lives lost in Clarksville on September 18, 2011, due to carbon monoxide seepage from a generator into their RV, which tragically had a non-functioning carbon monoxide detector due to missing batteries.

To ensure your safety, please remember the following guidelines:
- Never operate generators indoors or near windows and doors.
- Avoid using gas ovens, grills, or kerosene heaters inside your home.
- Have all heating equipment and chimneys inspected annually.
- Install carbon monoxide alarms outside sleeping areas and on every level of your home or RV.

If your CO alarm sounds, immediately exit to fresh air and call for assistance. Stay outside until emergency crews arrive.

Protect yourself and your loved ones by staying informed and prepared!
