    • CO from a generator is deadly and can kill you in minutes. One generator produces as much CO as hundreds of cars. It can incapacitate and kill consumers within minutes.
    • NEVER use portable generators indoors or in garages, basements, or sheds. They should always be used outside well away from windows, doors, vents, or any other opening.
    • Always have a working CO alarm in your house.
    • Also, never burn charcoal grills indoors, even with ventilation. Charcoal also quickly produces deadly CO.

    That's a good reminder that I will pass along since I know someone who has a generator set up in a shed for the first time this year. Even entering a detached garage or shed to refuel a generator is dangerous.
