    ONGOING RESPONSE TO SEVERE WEATHER EVENT

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Avoid Using Gas-Powered Equipment Indoors

    (ORILLIA, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is urging all residents to avoid using barbeques, portable stoves, generators and other gas-powered appliances indoors. These devices produce carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal.

    Carbon monoxide is produced when fuel is burned. Without proper ventilation, it can accumulate inside, posing a serious safety risk. Additionally, hard-wired carbon detectors may not function during power outages, leaving you unaware of rising levels.

    For those seeking heat or a warm meal, the OPP advises residents to visit friends or family members who have heat and power, or to attend a warming or relief centre in your area. Information about these centres is available on township websites. You can also call 211 for information specific to your area.

    For those with power, the OPP encourages you to reach out to neighbours, family and friends. Check on those you care about and invite them over to warm up. A hot beverage or a warm meal can go a long way for those without power.

    The OPP understands that residents may become frustrated as they await power restoration. Safety remains our top priority. Please do not put yourself at risk by using gas-powered appliances indoors.
