Carbon monoxide detectors required by law on Jan. 1

Glencoe News (IL) | December 14, 2006| | Copyright

Carbon monoxide is often called the "silent killer" because it's an invisible, odorless gas that can kill without warning.

Oak Park fire officials remember a case many ago where a young woman died from carbon monoxide poisoning in her apartment. The gas leak was caused by a defective water heater.

In 2002, a 57-year-old Waukegan woman died in her home from carbon monoxide exposure caused by a faulty furnace.

Fire officials hope a new state law requiring most homes and apartments in Illinois to be equipped with carbon monoxide detectors will prevent these kinds of tragedies.
