In case you missed it: 7/1/14 PG Co. requires CO detectors

[J-Dog]

In case you haven't heard, Prince Georges County will now require all homes with an attached garage, natual gas or propane heat or appliances, or a fireplace to have a carbon monoxide detector on every level of the house starting tomorrow July 1st.

Thought I'd post it up in case anyone else missed it, because I just heard about it this morning.

According to what I've heard, it will be passively enforced, meaning they are only going to check if you have to call fire services or something to your home.

Good. They need to inform people how to properly position them.
