Yes, it probs goes without saying, but do be careful with this.

It's been many years ago that my cousin and uncle's power went out and they put their generator in the basement with an open window to vent, but it wasn't enough. Long story short, the CO buildup killed my cousin and my uncle suffered from serious brain injuries from the lack of oxygen to his brain, he eventually died a few years later as well.
