I would recommend installing more smoke detectors. I only saw a carbon monoxide detector ( it may have been a combination smoke and CO2 )

I had installed smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when I started the VRBO but when we had problem on gas range, we called the CNNGA to check gas leak, one of their inspectors came and changed the detector, I may put one smoke detector as well
