That is so sad and preventable. This type of incident is why it gripes my behind so much on this forum when some of us try to talk genuinely about safety, hazard recognition and risk management and we get all the snarky comments from those who think nothing will ever happen to them. It may not, but it happened to these people and it didn't have to. To way to many people here, "Safety" is just a buzzword and means absolutely nothing.
X2. There is no good reason for anyone to be without a CO and smoke detecter. Also I will add that one should also have a TPMS. Especially if you have a trailer or fiver. Knowing that a tire is having problems could save you some grief, money and maybe your life.
BTW the CO detecter should apply to your home also. Thankfully I had one and it saved my life when the furnace malfunctioned.
