The cold weather we’ve been getting is making sure the snow on the ground sticks around, and that could pose a danger to your family.

Carbon monoxide is both colourless and odourless, making it a “silent killer”.

Having a working carbon monoxide detector in your home will soon be mandatory under Ontario law.
The fire department says the best place to put a CO detector is near your sleeping area.
