Prevention for

detectors should be placed on each floor and make sure one is in a room near
the furnace. He says you should also check to make sure your furnace isn’t
leaking carbon monoxide and that the furnace exhaust outside the home is clear.
He suggest never using a kitchen oven or stove as a way to stay warm. He says more
people use candles during the holidays. He recommends burning them on top of
the stove or a non-flammable surface where there’s no chance of them tipping
