With the high amount of snow, and high winds causing drifts, it's easy for things to get covered. This includes exhaust pipes coming out of your home.
If blocked, fumes from furnaces, water heaters, and dryers can clog, causing carbon monoxide build-up. Fire departments say you need to be aware of where these exhaust pipes are, some exit through the roof, but some are closer to the ground. They should be shoveled around and clear of snow to prevent harmful carbon monoxide gas from building up in your home.
