Residential Generator Safety
The NH State Fire Marshal has published an informational bulletin
with guidelines and important information about generator safety during power outages.
Portable Generators
Always read, follow and maintain the gerator according to the
manufacturer's operating instructions.
Portable generators should be placed at least 10 feet from any structure, with the exhaust
facing away from the building openings. Deadly exhaust fumes can enter the building
through any opening resulting in severe injury or death to unsuspecting occupants. Always use
a battery-powered Carbon Monoxide Detector inside your home during a power outage.
Never place portable generators on or near combustible surfaces such as decks,
porches, or tool sheds. Heat generated by the motor, or improper refueling methods can
start a fire.
Never run portable generators inside any building, including basement areas and
garages. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in minutes, injuring occupants
with little or no warning.
Allow plenty of time to cool the generator before refueling. Gasoline
vapors can easily ignite from hot surfaces causing a flash fire and severe injuries.
Never modify or construct any power cord so a generator can be connected to a
receptacle, dryer or range outlet.
