A Message From the Middletown Township Fire Department: Please Remain Safe When Using Generators
The Middletown Township Fire Department responded to over 120 calls in the last 72 hours for Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector activation. Generators emit exhaust containing carbon monoxide which is a colorless and odorless gas that has the potential to be very deadly because most people don’t realize they are being poisoned until it’s too late. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, portable generators are responsible for more than 900 people dying of carbon monoxide poisoning between 2005 and 2017. With hurricane season is fast approaching, the MTFD is asking residents to please follow these safety tips on CO Detector maintenance and generator safety use to prevent CO from entering your house:
- Never run a generator in an enclosed space or indoors. This includes basements and garages, which can capture deadly levels of carbon monoxide. Always place the generator at least 20 feet from the house with the engine exhaust directed away from windows and doors. Contrary to popular myth, keeping the garage door open does not provide enough ventilation to keep the fumes outside.
- Purchase a (CO) detector with a plug and battery backup. That way, if you shut off the generator, the battery backup will automatically keep the device going.
- Traffic cones are placed to protect you from a potentially dangerous situation. Going around them could put you and our volunteer firefighters at risk.
Thank you in advance for following these rules and stay safe. |

What is the recommendation for wearing a face covering/mask inside while patronizing a business?
According to the New Jersey Department of Health, accommodations can be made if someone is not able to wear a face mask due to a medical condition. Essential businesses that never closed (e.g. a grocery store or a pharmacy) cannot refuse entry to someone who has a medical condition and can’t wear mask. They may offer options, such as to provide curbside delivery and limit time spent inside store, but the person must be allowed to enter.
If the person doesn’t have a medical condition, but refuses to wear a mask, essential businesses can refuse entry but must arrange curbside delivery or provide a mask, if available. No one can be asked for medical documentation due to various laws that already existed, so people do not need to “prove” why they can’t wear a mask.
