FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- The Fulton County Fire Rescue Department urges every resident to learn the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 150 people in the Unites States die every year from accidental non-fire-related CO poisoning associated with consumer products, including generators and other products including faulty, improperly-used or incorrectly-vented fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, stoves, water heaters and fireplaces.

“Because CO is odorless, colorless, and otherwise undetectable to the human senses, people may not know that they are being exposed,” states Chief Larry Few, Fulton County Fire Rescue Department. “Although the popularity of carbon monoxide alarms has been growing in recent years, it cannot be assumed that everyone is familiar with the hazards of carbon monoxide poisoning in the home.”

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. – The woman credited for leading the charge to create the city of Sandy Springs passed away on Sunday. Eva Galambos, the first mayor of the city, died after a battle with cancer. She was 87.

Galambos was remembered fondly by current city officials.

"This is a great loss for the city and a great loss personally. Eva was truly our city mother. Her efforts led to the city's creation. She cared and nurtured the city, and the strength of our community is due greatly to her unwavering love and devotion to creating something better for us all," current Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul said in a statement.

The push to incorporate the city of Sandy Springs began in 1966 in response to an effort to annex the land into the city of Atlanta, according to a city statement. In 1976, Galambos began leading the the fight for residents to form their own government.
