Stay safe during and after a storm

The Daytona Beach Fire Department took the time to remind residents that generators need to be kept outside in order to get proper air flow. They should never be used indoors and should be kept away from open doors, windows and vents. They urged residents to invest in carbon monoxide detectors.
