    Ce ar trebui să știu despre siguranța împotriva incendiilor și a monoxidului de carbon atunci când călătoresc?

    Safety and security are must-haves in any home. We encourage hosts to install smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors in their space, but it’s also important for guests to stay aware and take safety precautions whenever—and however—they travel.



    Safety information from the American Red Cross

    Carbon monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. It can be produced by fuel-burning appliances in the home, including furnaces, ranges, water heaters, and room heaters—and high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal. What you can do:

    • Never use a generator, grill, camp stove, or other gasoline, propane, natural gas, or charcoal-burning devices inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace, or any partially enclosed area.
    • Keep these devices outdoors, away from doors, windows, and vents that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors.
    • Opening doors and windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide buildup in the home. Although carbon monoxide can't be seen or smelled, it can rapidly lead to full incapacitation and death. Even if you cannot smell exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator, get to fresh air right away—do not delay.
    • Carbon monoxide alarms* should be installed in central locations on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas to provide early warning of accumulating carbon monoxide.
    • Batteries should be tested frequently and replaced when needed.
    • If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, move quickly to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or exterior door. You should never ignore the carbon monoxide alarm; the gas is deadly and you need to get to fresh air. Call local emergency services for help from the fresh air location and remain there until emergency personnel arrive to assist you.

    * In order to communicate with a global audience, Airbnb often uses the terms “alarm” and “detector” interchangeably.
