Hello,
I was shocked by the news about the six young people who died.
I’m wondering if something like this could happen in our case, since we have a newly built house with a fireplace and small children.
We don’t have any mechanical ventilation or similar systems; the fireplace is only used for cozy atmosphere and occasional heating. When it gets too warm, we tilt the window open.
We burn regular wood. Could something like this happen to us as well? The local chimney sweep included a note on the last invoice that he is happy to inform about and install carbon monoxide detectors.
What do you think about these concerns?

Where should I install it? Above the fireplace?

Where should I place it? Above the chimney? I’m considering that one too. According to Google, it should be installed in the bedroom(s).

I mean, the fireplace is on, you’re sitting in the living room and suddenly collapse... getting to the bedroom is still a longer way away, right?
