Carbon monoxide (CO), is called the “invisible killer” because it’s a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. It is undetectable to the human senses, so people may not know that they are being exposed. To protect your family from the danger of CO, please view this important PSA.

HEADS UP! Santa Ana winds will continue through Saturday afternoon. After the recent rains have soaked the soil across much of SoCal, trees are more likely to be knocked down by winds. Secure any outdoor objects and avoid parking under trees during this wind event. #CAwx
