⚠️ CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY REMINDER ⚠️
Your carbon monoxide (CO) detector helps protect you and your family from dangerous carbon monoxide gas, which is colorless and odorless.
If Your Carbon Monoxide Detector Begins Beeping:
✅ If the alarm sounds continuously or in a pattern of 4 beeps followed by a pause:
Move everyone, including pets, to fresh air immediately.
Call 911 or the Fire Department from a safe location.
Do not re-enter your home until emergency personnel say it is safe.
Notify the Housing Office or Maintenance Department as soon as possible.
✅ If the detector chirps once every 30–60 seconds:
This usually means the battery is low or the detector needs to be replaced.
Contact Maintenance immediately so the detector can be checked.
Do not remove, disconnect, or disable the detector.
Important Safety Tips
Test your detector monthly.
Never ignore a carbon monoxide alarm.
Never use ovens, grills, generators, or other fuel-burning devices to heat your home.
Keep vents and appliances clear and properly maintained.
Your safety is our priority. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your carbon monoxide detector, please contact the Inkster Housing Commission 313.561.2600.
