I don't think you have anything to worry about. It's not like the fire department is going door<BR>
to door to inspect for CO detectors. (They are however helping to get CO detectors to the needy<BR>
like they do with smoke detectors). Just go buy one, install it and be done with it. I imagine<BR>
that had we not experienced so much snowfall and related problems in the weeks leading up to<BR>
March 1 it would have gotten better coverage.<BR>

Since 2000, more than 25 people have died in Baltimore City as a result of CO poisoning.</SPAN></FONT></P>

We thank the city council for passing this important ordinance requiring CO detectors installed in all city dwellings, helping us keep our families safe,” said Interim City Health Commissioner Olivia Farrow.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=ecxMsoPlainText><FONT size=3 face="Bookman Old Style"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=ecxMsoPlainText><FONT size=3 face="Bookman Old Style"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">City Councilman James Kraft (District 1) sponsored the ordinance, which requires the installation and maintenance of carbon monoxide alarms in all new and existing residential dwellings, hotels, motels, boarding or rooming houses, or other structures where people live or sleep. The law applies to dwellings that use gas- or fossil fuel-burning furnaces or appliances. Residents should take care to follow manufacturer specifications when installing a new alarm to ensure effective protection.</SPAN></FONT></P>

All poisonings from CO are easily preventable with CO detectors, and this ordinance is therefore designed to save lives,” the councilman said.

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in" class=ecxMsoPlainText><FONT size=3 face="Bookman Old Style"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Because CO is odorless and colorless, safeguards such as home CO detectors are essential in detecting leaks before they cause symptoms. Mild CO poisoning can cause nausea, headaches or shortness of breath; prolonged exposure to CO can cause dizziness, confusion, severe headaches, severe nausea, faintness, and death if treatment is not sought. Malfunctioning furnaces and other appliances that burn fuels are common culprits of home CO leaks. From 2008 through 2009, the Baltimore City Fire Department responded to more than 3,600 CO poisoning calls.</SPAN></FONT></P>
