The Carbon Monoxide Alarm Standards Act was championed by Farry, a fire chief at the Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company. The act was signed into law in December.
The Carbon Monoxide Alarm Standards Act requires multi-family dwellings with a fossil fuel-burning heater/appliance, fireplace or an attached garage to be equipped with an operational, centrally located and approved carbon monoxide alarm. The law was applauded by local fire officials.
Farry will be joined by officials from around the state at the event.
