Larry,

I have the regulations in writing from our Fire Chief. I can forward them to you if you pm me your e-mail. "Nicole's law", as it is called goes into effect 4/1/06. Battery powered detectors are acceptable. There is some talk about hard wired being required in 2007, but it's not in writing yet. The Fire Marshall's office had a meeting this past Monday or Tuesday for the fire inspectors. I just left 2 of the Grafton inspectors, and they reiterated what our Milford fire inspector told me yesterday. Essentially CO detector on every level with habitable space.

John can you post those here?

I'll post tomorrow a.m. when I get to my town office. I don't have them with me here at home.

I have 2 documents. One is a memo from the Department of Fire Safety, the other is the actual requirement as written in 527CMR31.00. They are in pdf files, and I don't know how to cut and paste, if it's possible. I don't have time to type them, but I'll forward them to anyone who wants them.
