If you want power after a storm, you’re going to need a generator. They come in all sizes to run lights, fans and keep your phones charged, but you have to plan ahead to stay safe.
“Generators are very important during hurricane season because they allow people to store food and have electricity in their home,” said Cape Coral Fire Battalion Chief Mathew Marshall.
You have to use a generator safely, though, because carbon monoxide is a real threat.
“The biggest concern is the safety concern of carbon monoxide poisoning. It is an odorless, colorless gas that can actually cause people to die,” Marshall said.
