Tay Fire Shares Reminder Video About New CO Alarm Rules

10 March 2026

The Tay Township Fire Department’s Public Education Team has released a short video reminding residents about the updated carbon monoxide (CO) alarm regulations now in effect in Ontario. 

 

Under the updated regulations, all residential occupancies including homes, apartments and other dwellings that contain a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or attached garage must have:  

  • A carbon monoxide (CO) alarm adjacent to each sleeping area.  
  • A CO alarm on each storey without a sleeping area (on every floor). 

Residents are encouraged to take a few minutes to watch the video and make sure their home meets the current safety requirements. 

Our Fire Department is always available to help you with your CO and smoke alarms. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact:
