OGDEN -- Along with changing clocks tonight, the Ogden Fire Department reminds people to change the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

In a news release, the department recommends having a smoke and carbon monoxide detector outside each sleeping area with at least one smoke detector on each level of the home. Smoke detectors older than 10 years should be replaced with a new one; the same for carbon monoxide detectors more than seven years old.

MIAMI -- The day after Christmas, Juchen Martial wanted to celebrate his 19th birthday.

So he and four friends from their Little Haiti neighborhood rented a Hialeah motel room Sunday for a night of fun and fast food.

By 2 p.m., a hotel maid discovered all five teenagers dead, apparently poisoned by carbon monoxide fumes.

The car they had driven -- a red Kia Optima -- was left running in the bottom-floor, single-car garage. The door to the interior stairway leading to the room on the second floor was opened slightly, allowing the odorless, deadly fumes to seep upstairs.
