There’s no local ordinance over the ocean? Here (Belgium) it’s mandatory for anything rented or commercially used.
Freedom and all that
That’s what I don’t get - we aren’t less able to rent shit, simply there’s some requirements to do so. They have the freedom to die of co poisoning?
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.
Our conservatives do not like regulations. wE HaVe fReEDuMb!
The same ones that censor books and prevent abortion? MhHHhhhh
Yeah the same ones who espouse InDiViDuAl FrEeDuMB and DoNt tREaD oN mE but who drone about what other people choose to identify as, try to stop them, and what literally in no way impacts them.
