As canary balladeer, Tommy McAnairey, will tell you, carbon monoxide can be lethal. But there’s a lot you can do to safeguard against it. So, with Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week coming up, remember:

• Carbon monoxide can be released by any fuel that burns, including coal, turf, oil, gas and wood
• Get fuel-burning appliances serviced and chimneys swept every year
• Install an audible carbon monoxide alarm in your home
