Illinois Governor Quinn pledged the state will do its part in helping the counties affected recover.

The winds of landscape change have passed on again. We must be wary of carbon monoxide sources during the clean up, repair and rebuilding efforts. Generators, pumps, gasoline fueled power equipment, service vehicles, barbeques and sleeping in your cars and trucks. The last thing you might think about during all of this is having a battery operated carbon monoxide alarm or personal CO safety monitor near you during these times. And, unfortunately for some, it won’t be the last thing they think of.
