Amanda's Law
Carbon monoxide alarm requirements went in to effect February 22, 2010
As the result of legislation, Amanda’s Law went into effect on February 22, 2010. It requires essentially all residences, both new and existing, to have carbon monoxide alarms installed. The specific requirements differ for new and existing residences and also on when the buildings were built and subcategories of occupancy groups.
Probably the most asked question will be the requirement for existing one and two family residences. They will be required to have one carbon monoxide alarm installed on the lowest story having a sleeping area.
The proposal to modify the Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, in order to comply with Amanda's Law, is in the process of being adopted as an emergency rule. The following link provides the proposed code text and legislation, Amanda’s Law.

Averill Park Fire Department Needs Your Help!
Be a Hero! Join APFD Today!
APFD is facing both an increase in the population, resulting in more firematic and EMS activity, and a decline in volunteer membership. Additionally, 11 active members are over the age of 65. We need an infusion of younger volunteers that can be trained and ready to take the place of our "veteran" firefighters when the time comes. And that time may be soon since several active members have reduced their activity level so far this year. Please consider volunteering your time and talent to this essential public service. Fill in your information in the "Not a Member" section in the bottom of the page and someone will get back to you, or contact Chief Paul Glasser, Jr. directly at 788-1131.
