BRIDGEPORT — As winter approaches, the city fire department warned residents of the dangers of carbon monoxide in their home. “As temperatures drop, carbon monoxide poisoning rise,” the department said. “Be informed. Be aware.” Homeowners should have their heating system, water heater and any other oil, gas or coal-burning appliances serviced by a qualified technician every year, according to the National Center for Environmental Health’s Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects. Fire officials urged residents to install a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector in their home. The batteries should be checked or replaced any time homeowners change their clocks for Daylight Saving Time.
