Yesterday morning residents of a home turned on their furnace for the first time to take the chill off their home when smoke started erupting from the furnace.
The Dauphin Fire Department responded and made sure there wasn’t a fire.
Fire Chief Cam Abrey says they contacted the owners to have everything serviced.
He says with winter approaching, now is a good time to make sure your furnace works, adding that it’s best to get a qualified service technician to check over your furnace instead of doing it yourself.
Abrey says it's fine to change the filter yourself and test carbon monoxide alarms.
