Required smoke and co2 detectors in Ohio?

[Jeff Ryers]

I amlooking for help and required smoke detectors and CO2 detectors. Local code enforcement guy is new and I am getting conflicting information. I am in the Youngstown,Ohio area. Do I need smoke detectors and CO detectors in every bedroom? every floor? Also, do I need fire extinguishers on every floor? 

Thanks, Jeff

Well, considering a smoke detector at Home Depot costs around $8 and a CO detector costs around $25, it's really not a huge cost even if they are required. I have smoke detectors in every bedroom and at least one in the hallway, first floor, and basement. CO detectors I would think one on each floor would suffice most places, as well as a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, but it all depends on your municipal code.
