West Fargo residents have been relying on SERVPRO^® of Fargo to restore storm damage for years. Here are some tips from the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for staying warm and safe during a power outage.

• Some gas-fueled heaters, such as vent-less gas fireplaces, require some ventilation. Otherwise, if you don’t need extra ventilation, keep as much heat as possible inside your home.
• Avoid unnecessarily opening doors or windows
• Close off unneeded rooms
• Stuff towels or rags in cracks under doors
• Close draperies or cover windows with blankets at night
• Generators should be located at least twenty feet from any window, door, or vent and in a space where rain and snow will not reach them
• Protect yourself from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning by installing a battery-operated CO detector

• Never use generators, gas or charcoal grills, camp stoves, or similar devices inside your home, in basements, in garages, or near windows. The fumes are deadly.
• Plug in appliances to the generator using individual heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cords
• Do not use the generator or appliances if they are wet
• Do not store gasoline indoors where the fumes could ignite
