[Joining the ranks of Illinois, Minnesota, and Alaska, Texas is now the lastest addition to the number of states proposing a mandatory carbon monoxide detector law. As I said in previous posts...it's only a matter of time before the whole country has them. It would be best to get a good one now before prices skyrocket! Try the Pocket CO from www.transducertech.com.]
Many in San Antonio were shocked after learning that state Sen. Frank Madla, his granddaughter and mother-in-law were killed in a fire last year.
From those deaths, some hope lives will be saved through a new law proposed Wednesday in Austin.
It was Thanksgiving night when it happened. Sparked by candles left burning, fire tore through
Helen Madla's home, taking the lives of her husband, mother and granddaughter. Helen barely survived herself.
Today, she was joined by state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, as she proposed a law that will require all homes built or sold after Jan. 1, 2008 to have a smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarm.
