    I think it’s required by law now in Ontario, Canada too. It applies to every residential building with an attached garage, fuel burning appliances, or a fireplace.

    It was put in place after an officer died along with her husband and two kids back in 2008 from carbon monoxide poisoning.

    More places should have alarm requirements, imo. It’s not like you can smell it, see it, taste it, or hear it. Carbon monoxide is called a silent killer for a good reason.
