Colder Weather Means Running Your Furnace

With running your furnace means your carbon monoxide detector may alarm. There are many reasons for your detector to do this, please read the following on the use of CO detectors. It is a state law to have a CO detector in your home if you use fossil fuel to heat your residence. Click on our Carbon Monoxide tab to see the law.

The carbon monoxide detector may be battery operated, plug-in with battery back-up or wired into the home's AC power with a secondary battery back-up; must bear the label of a nationally recognized testing laboratory: and must comply with the most recent standards of the Underwriters Laboratories or the Canadian Standard Association.

Safety measures:

• Never heat your home with your gas range or oven.
• Never burn charcoal inside your home or garage.
• Always open the chimney flue when you use your fireplace.
• Never run a combustion engine, such as your car, lawn mower or snow blower, in enclosed areas.

Install a CO detector:

• Install a CO detector within 15' of any room used for sleeping in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
• Do not install a CO detector near your kitchen or garage or in a room with a furnace.
• If your CO detector goes off and you feel ill, leave the house and call 911 or the local fire department. If you do not feel ill, push your detector's reset button. If the alarm goes off again after a few minutes, open the windows, leave the house and call 911 or the local fire department.

Fire Prevention Week 6-13 October, 2019

2012 Creve Coeur Fire Department Annual Santa Day

This is a tradition that is going on 31 years and it started as a way to burn old fuel out of the apparatuses  and allow firefighters to stay familiar with locations of the fire hydrants. This is our way of giving back to the community that supports us all year long. We appreciate the help of our Santas, our helpers from the Boy Scouts, and others.
