Commissioner’s Message continued

likely that we would have had another tragedy similar to
the incident in Wilton Manors where a family and
neighbors were overcome by CO gas. Carbon monoxide
is a colorless odorless "silent killer" that robs the body of
oxygen. It comes from charcoal grills, portable generators,
vehicles in closed spaces, or any other wood or gas fueled
appliance. Many new vehicles run very quietly and use a
keyless ignition. This often causes drivers to falsely think
that they have turned off their vehicles, which could prove
fatal if there is not a carbon monoxide detector to warn
occupants. We urge all of our neighbors to learn how to
prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and to purchase
carbon monoxide detectors for their homes.
