In order to prevent carbon monoxide from entering your home, you need to clear off your outdoor vents.
Welland's Fire Chief is urging you to keep your vents clear when shoveling snow today.
Removing snow and ice from outdoor vents is important to prevent carbon monoxide from getting inside your house.
Also, if you have a fire hydrant on your property, you should clear a section of it off in case fire crews need to access it.
