Governor Malloy has urged Connecticut residents to put their safety first and use caution tonight regarding Halloween and Trick-or-Treating. Parents should accompany children and make sure they keep a look out for downed power lines.
Use caution when operating a gas stove or charging phones and warming yourselves in a car running in a garage. Carbon monoxide is a seriously deadly problem.
