Ideally, there should be a detector in every sleeping area.<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">It is my understanding that every rental home, condominium, and apartment, as well as newly constructed and newly purchased homes are to have the new smoke detector in every sleeping area. The County intends
to strictly enforce this portion of the law.<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">Just a reminder that either a standalone or combination carbon monoxide detector should be placed within 5-20 feet of carbon monoxide sources, i.e. gas and oil furnaces, gas hot water heaters, gas dryers,
gas stoves/ovens, etc.<u></u><u></u></li></ul>
