 ORLANDO, Fla. - An adult and two teenagers died in a "tragic accident" Tuesday after Orange County deputies said a generator was used inside an Orlando home that did not have power after Hurricane Irma. Four other members of the multigenerational family were taken to Florida Hospital in very serious condition. Orange County Fire Rescue responded at 5:01 p.m. Tuesday to 5618 Eggleston Ave. Officials found several people suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms. Jacobs provided these tips for people using generators: 
 
 Generators should only be used in well-ventilated locations OUTSIDE at least 5 feet away from all doors, windows and vents 
 
 Never use a generator in an attached garage, even with the door open 
 
 Place generators so exhaust fumes can’t enter the home through windows, doors or other openings; the exhaust must be directed away from the building 
 
 Please use carbon monoxide alarms in your home

– Millions of people in Florida are still without power after Hurricane Irma, and the outage has led to more than one deadly incident. Police say three people in Orlando died from carbon monoxide poisoning Tuesday after running a generator inside their home. Another four family members were hospitalized in serious condition, the Orlando Sentinel reports. A police spokesman says two adults and a child died and it's "not looking so good" for the family members in the hospital, News 6 reports. Authorities, who say at least another dozen people in the area were sickened by generators in their garages, warn that generators should never be used indoors. At least one similar death has happened in Miami. Irma left at least 13 million people without power in Florida and the rest of the Southeast, leaving many people struggling with the heat amid one of the biggest blackouts in US history, the AP reports. "The biggest thing we've got to do for people is get their power back," says Florida Gov. Rick Scott. In the Miami area, those still without power include the 15,000-person Century Village retirement community, where residents can't plug in oxygen machines or comply with the boil-water advisory, the Miami Herald reports. The state's largest utility, Florida Power & Light, says it aims to restore power to the east coast by Sunday and the southwest part of the state within 10 days.
