sets put out a lot of Carbon Monoxide which accumulates in the blood <br />and poisons you. <br />The NFPA sends out a magazine every month listing fire deaths. Many <br />of those deaths are due to house fires in houses not equipped with <br />smoke detectors. Some of those deaths are because a smoker fell <br />asleep on a couch or chair with a lit cigarette. With young people <br />overindulging in alcohol and smoking this could easily happen in a <br />transient rental. <br />Therefore, I am asking you to at least put in the Indian River County <br />ordinance the following <br />1. Make the owner license the property with the County so you <br />know how it is being used. <br />2. Require an annual inspection to ensure the property has working <br />smoke detectors in all bedrooms and the living area and a Carbon <br />Monoxide detector in the living area. <br />However, the complete adoption of the Monroe County ordinance <br />would be the best and safest option for all involved. Hopefully, you will <br />now ask the County Attorney to put together a much more <br />comprehensive ordinance for you to vote on at the May 5 County <br />Commission meeting. <br />Thank you, <br />Herb Whittall <br />105-- <br />
