Renton Fire Department – Renton Fire Department Battalion Chief/Safety Officer Karl Rufener was present to report.  He reviewed the requirements for Carbon Monoxide detectors.  It was noted that if you sell your home you will be required to provide one in the home.  Most of them plug into an outlet and the ideal location for them is low to the ground.  One is needed for each level of the home.  They do not work well in garages due to automobiles. 

It was also noted that Renton Fire will continue to provide free transportation to the hospital via aid car as long as financially possible.  They would like to put even more aid cars in service.

A reminder that February is “Heart Month”.  Look for the Fire Department in local locations doing blood pressure checks and blood sugar checks.
