Carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious risk during the heating season, with symptoms like headaches, nausea, and dizziness often going unnoticed. Improper heating practices, such as using stoves or unsafe space heaters, can lead to fires and CO exposure. Vulnerable populations, including families relying on alternative heating methods, are at heightened risk. The Detroit Fire Department continues to respond to numerous CO-related incidents, highlighting the ongoing need for public awareness and safety measures.
