Please note that with the solid Spanish Mediterranean steel reinforced concrete building style of our community, this style of home does not typically come equipped with smoke or carbon monoxide detector. Instead, for a grease or kitchen fire, the common best practice for this region is the fire extinguisher located under the kitchen sink. Carbon monoxide is not produced in this building. We may decide to handle this differently in the future; this is the current update.
