The ghosting trend started at Halloween, but it's perfect for Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week. 👻 One thing we're NOT ghosting? CO alarms! ✅ Ensure you have working CO alarms on every level of your home. ✅ Test them monthly. ✅ Replace them before they expire. #COWeek2026

Snow. Nests. Debris. When chimneys or vents are blocked, carbon monoxide can build up in your home, even when your appliances are working. You can’t see or smell CO, but a working alarm can warn you. Learn more: bit.ly/4ACmCwb

⏰🍂 When you turn your clocks back, don't forget to give your smoke & CO alarms a little love! ❤️ 🔋 Change those batteries! 🚨 Test your alarms! ⚡ Check the power and battery backups! An extra hour of sleep is great… but an extra layer of safety is even better! 😉

Fully charged = time to unplug. Overcharging can overheat batteries - give them a break! 🔋 #FPW2026

Cheap charger? Hard pass. Use the cord and charger that came with your device - or one approved by the manufacturer. 🔌 #FPW2026
