The U.S. Fire Administration offers these safety tips when using a portable generator:
- Only use a generator outdoors, and never place it close to windows, vents or doors.
- Never use a generator inside a basement, crawl space, garage or any area with a partial enclosure, even if there appears to be adequate ventilation.
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Install a carbon monoxide detector in your home, and make sure it has a battery backup.
- Frequently test your CO detector and replace the battery as needed.
