Stay safe this winter: fire and carbon monoxide safety

As temperatures drop, it’s important to stay mindful of fire and carbon monoxide safety in our programs and homes. The DCYF Licensing Division works closely with the State Fire Marshal team to share important safety information with providers and families. 

The State Fire Marshal’s Office has launched a new awareness campaign reminding Minnesotans to protect themselves from carbon monoxide poisoning as heating systems are turned on for the season. For additional safety reminders and helpful resources—including fire prevention and preparedness tips—visit the State Fire Marshal webpage.
