Our province may follow Ontario with a new law that requires all residences to install Carbon Monoxide detectors.
This happened in Ontario
~The impetus was the deaths of a Woodstock couple, former OPP officer Laurie Hawkins, her husband Richard and their two children, 14-year-old daughter Cassandra and 12-year-old son Jordan. The four died because of a CO build-up due to a blocked chimney associated with a gas fireplace.
Carbon monoxide is an odourless, colourless, tasteless gas that is a byproduct of the combustion of natural gas, propane, home heating oil or wood.
Please check the detector in your RV as its usefulness expires in SEVEN years and if its a new RV make sure the batteries have been removed
from their plastic wrapper.Also replace the batteries each year!
