A Rude Awakening!

Something you might want to know....
Carbon monoxide and smoke alarms are among the essential items to install first in your home. Whether you just had your home built, or are buying a used home; your #1 priority should be to check the CO and smoke alarms before moving in.
With over 400,000 fires in the US every year resulting in over 2,500 deaths, a $10 smoke alarm can be the best investment you've ever made! What's the reason I am suggesting a renewed vigilance in checking these alarms before moving in? Around 75% of deaths occurring from a fire in the home were in houses that had broken, disabled or non-existent smoke alarms.
Now, carbon monoxide deaths are much less frequent, but you could still be among the 500 Americans that die from it each year. The average alarm would cost you around $40, and is essential for any home that has fuel powered appliances. If you have any kind of flame related heating device in your home; anything that runs off of natural gas, wood, oil, gasoline or propane....PLEASE install a CO alarm!
