State fire marshal warns of carbon monoxide dangers

As Oregonians turn on furnaces, light fireplaces, and pull out space heaters for colder months, emergency responders across the state are bracing for a predictable and preventable seasonal threat. November marks Carbon Monoxide Awareness Month, and the Oregon State Fire Marshal urges Oregonians and visitors to be aware of the silent killer lurking in fuel-burning household appliances. In 2025, 83% of Oregon’s 300+ fire agencies reported responding to 417 carbon monoxide-related calls statewide. Cold weather drives this sharp uptick: 26% of Oregon’s carbon monoxide-related incidents happen in the fall, rising to 36% in the winter months. Oregon Health Authority data show carbon monoxide poisoning kills an average of 18 people and causes nearly 41 hospitalizations or emergency room visits in Oregon every year. Nationally, the toxic gas leads to more than 100,000 emergency room visits and 1,200 deaths annually. "Carbon monoxide gives no warning; you cannot see it, smell it, or taste it," State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said.

Oregon nonprofit expands tech training for older adults

As the world becomes more digitized, programs to support older Oregonians in building online skills are expanding to fill the growing need. Oregon nonprofit AGE+ is growing its digital literacy program in Umatilla and other counties to help older adults learn how to do everything from ordering groceries to booking healthcare appointments. Olivia Robinson, community outreach and engagement manager for AGE+, said almost everything keeping people healthy and connected has already moved online. "Healthcare, transportation, a lot of social connection, prescription refills, and if someone doesn't know how to access a portal or even use a mouse or a keyboard, then care gets harder to reach," Robinson explained. Robinson pointed to research from AARP showing nearly 22 million Americans over 65 do not have broadband at home. Funded by the State Library of Oregon, the program offers hands-on training led by trained digital navigators in libraries and senior centers. Cecili Longhorn, director of the Stanfield Public Library in Umatilla County, said the library started its digital literacy program two years ago and is able to restart now thanks to the new funding. She stressed the programs are very popular once they get going but it takes time, because trainers need
