 Cooperative, asking you to remember some important things when you're using portable generators. First, place them in a spot where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can't enter your home. Second, make sure your generator is properly grounded. Finally, never connect the generator directly to your home wiring. Doing this can actually feed electricity back out onto the power line and create very dangerous situations for utility workers. Contact your local OTEC office for more safety tips like this.
