Public Safety Message: Portable Generator Safety

The Salina Fire Department is reminding residents to use portable gas generators safely following recent storm damage and power outages.

Portable generators can help during outages, but improper use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, fire, electrocution, and burns.

Generator Safety Tips

• Never use a generator indoors or in a garage, basement, crawl space, shed, or other enclosed or partially enclosed area.
• Place generators outside only, at least 20 feet from doors, windows, and vents whenever possible.
• Point the exhaust away from your home and other occupied buildings.
• Install battery-operated or battery-backup carbon monoxide alarms in your home and check that they are working.
• Do not plug a generator directly into a wall outlet. This can cause backfeeding and seriously injure utility workers or others.
• Use heavy-duty outdoor-rated extension cords that are free of damage.
• Keep the generator dry. Protect it from rain and standing water, and do not operate it with wet hands.
• Turn the generator off and let it cool before refueling. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts can ignite.
• Store fuel in approved containers and keep it away from heat sources, open flames, and children.
• Keep children and pets away from operating generators.

Know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
If you or a family member feels dizzy, weak, nauseated, confused, or has a headache after generator use, get outside immediately and call 911.

During power outages, safety must come first. Please use generators carefully to protect your household, your neighbors, and emergency responders.
