Local fire departments already do tremendous work educating residents about carbon monoxide and smoke alarms. This Take It Outside® toolkit is designed to accent that effort—plug-and-play materials you can fold into your existing outreach for times when households turn to portable generators during outages, storms, wildfires, or public-safety shutoffs.
When crews respond, it’s common to encounter homes and small businesses running generators near doors, windows, or vents—conditions that can create CO and fire hazards. Use this toolkit to reinforce your detector messaging with clear, practical guidance on safe placement, ventilation, and operation of portable generators.
