Ontario Fire Code Changes - CO Alarms

[Admin]

Starting January 1, 2026, Ontario is updating the Fire Code to require carbon monoxide (CO) alarms on every storey of a home, including basements, if there is a fuel-burning appliance, fireplace, or attached garage.  Most existing detectors should be replaced every 10 years as well.
