 The Orange County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday identified the victims as Desiree Diaz Molina, 34; Kiara Lebron Diaz, 16; and Jan Lebron Diaz, 13. 
 
 Deputies said Molina is the mother of Kiara Lebron Diaz and Jan Lebron Diaz. 
 
 Four other victims were taken to a hospital. They were identified as Evette Diaz, 37; Karis Colon-Feliciano, 16; Mirta Feliciano, 51; and Louis Lebron Diaz, 12. 
 
 Deputies tell News 6 Louis Leron Diaz is Molina's son and is the person who called 911. 
 
 Evette Diaz is related to the other victims and Colon-Feliciano and Feliciano are family friends from Puerto Rico. 
 
 "The family was the most wonderful family. I just don't understand," a neighbor who didn't want to be identified said. 
 
 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. Two people were dead inside the home and a third made it outside, but also died, Orange County Sheriff's Office spokesman Jeff Williamson said. 
 
 The other victims were taken to Florida Hospital South for advanced life support. On Wednesday, the sheriff's office told News 6 "all four are expected to survive." 
 
 "When the deputy walked into the house, he was just completely overcome with the smell of gas," Williamson said, calling the deaths a "very tragic, tragic accident." 
 
 Williamson said three generations of family members were living in the home, from grandparents to grandchildren. 
 
 The sheriff's office said the generator was found in the garage which had been converted as an extension of the home. It was powering a refrigerator, a standalone freezer, and two fans. 
 
 Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs issued an urgent message for residents without power after the deaths: Generators should only be used outside. 
 
 "I can only imagine that for a lot of people, they lost very precious members of their family and it breaks my heart," Jacobs said. "I'll be honest with you, to me it feels like a failure when anything we can do to prevent somebody's loss of life and we haven't done our absolute best to get that message out. It's so unfortunate." 
 
 The incident was one of several around Central Florida after Hurricane Irma swept through the state, knocking out power for more than 5 million residents.Two other carbon monoxide poisoning cases were reported in Polk and Brevard counties earlier Tuesday. 
 
 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

 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — In a state built on air conditioning, millions of Florida residents now want to know one thing: When will the power come back on? 
 
 Hurricane Irma's march across Florida and into the Southeast triggered one of the bigger blackouts in U.S. history, plunging as many as 13 million people into the dark as the storm dragged down power lines and blew out transformers. It also shattered the climate-controlled bubbles that enable people to live here despite the state's heat, humidity and insects. 
 
 Those who evacuated ahead of the hurricane are returning to homes without electricity and facing the prospect of days or even weeks with little to ease the late-summer stickiness. 
 
 "Power, power, power," Florida Gov. Rick Scott said. "The biggest thing we've got to do for people is get their power back." 
 
 The Irma blackout is still much smaller than a 2003 outage that put 50 million people in the dark. More than 50,000 utility workers — some from as far away as Canada and California — are responding to the crisis, according to the association that represents the nation's investor-owned utilities. 
 
 The state's largest utility, Florida Power & Light, said Irma caused the most widespread damage in company history, affecting all 35 counties in its territory, which is most of the state's Atlantic coast and the Gulf Coast south of Tampa. 
 
 On Tuesday, the company announced that it expected to have the lights back on by the end of the weekend for the east coast. Customers living in the hard-hit neighborhoods in southwest Florida, where damage was much more extensive, were expected to get power restored within 10 days. 
 
 While acknowledging the public's frustration, utility officials said they are getting power back on faster than they did after Hurricane Wilma hit the state 12 years ago. The company said it had already restored service to nearly 1.8 million customers. 
 
 Any disaster that wipes out electrical service hits especially hard in the South, where tens of millions of Americans rely on the cocoon of comfort provided by air conditioning. Without it, many cities could barely exist, let alone prosper. When the lights go out in Florida, the muggy, buggy reality can be jarring even to longtime residents. 
 
 There were signs on social media that some people were growing angry and tired of waiting. Others steeled themselves for an extended period without electricity. 
 
 Standing in front of a produce cooler at a reopened Publix grocery store in Naples, Missy Sieber said the worst thing about not having electricity is not having air conditioning. 
 
 "It's miserably hot," Sieber said. "I don't mind standing in line here." 
 
 There's no immediate cool-off in sight. The forecast for the next week in Naples and Miami, for instance, calls for highs in the upper 80s (lower 30s Celsius) and lows barely falling below 80 degrees (27 degrees Celsius). Humidity will hover between 70 and almost 80 percent. 
 
 Dan Eckler sat next to his luggage Tuesday at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, waiting for a ride after scoring a seat on one of the few arriving flights after the airport reopened. 
 
 "I'm soaking up a few last minutes of AC before I return to my house with no electricity," said Eckler, 46, who lives in Fort Lauderdale and went 16 days without power during Hurricane Wilma. 
 
 "You learn what you can cook on your grill. I cooked a frozen pizza because it was about to go bad," he said, referring to his experience during Wilma. "And you finally meet your neighbors." 
 
 In Miami, firefighters evacuated a building in the suburb of Coral Gables that had been without power since Sunday, concluding that it was not safe for elderly tenants. The most delicate evacuee was a 97-year-old woman who had to be brought down 12 flights of stairs. 
 
 Madeleine Alvarez tried unsuccessfully to get an ambulance to transport her Cuban-born mother who suffers from congestive heart failure. 
 
 "Doctors are telling me not to move her. Fire officials say we should evacuate. I don't know what to do. Any change can make her very excited and sick," said Alvarez, who planned to take her mother to a hospital to be examined and then to a hotel because her own home had no electricity yet. 
 
 Irma's arrival came in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which created widespread outages in Texas. Some three weeks after Harvey, at least 10,700 customers in that state remained without power. Many of those were homes and businesses that will have to undergo repairs before they are ready to receive electricity again. 
 
 In Houston, about 4,000 customers were without power as many homes remained flooded due to water releases from two reservoirs that were filled by Harvey's torrential rainfall. 
 
 Back in Naples, Sieber and her husband and 9-year-old son have been using a generator to run a small air conditioner in a bedroom at night. 
 
 "It makes you count your blessings," she said.

 Four other members of the multigenerational family were taken to Florida Hospital in very serious condition. 
 
 Neighbors in the Kingswood Manor neighborhood near Lee Road — who were still without power Tuesday night — found out about the incident mostly through word of mouth, as helicopters and media arrived on the scene. 
 
 “My cable is out, so I sent my brother a text and he told me what happened,” resident Steve Whipple said. “I drive by them and wave at them all the time.” 
 
 Whipple was among a handful of neighbors gathered outside the home, talking about their damaged properties or the debris on the street. As night fell, the only lights in the area were coming from the Orange County patrol cars blocking Eggleston Avenue. 
 
 Maria Tuzzeo, who is the treasurer of the neighborhood’s board, said she knew the family well and had last seen them Monday, cooking on the street. 
 
 “It’s such a shame,” Tuzzeo said. “To see this, especially when children are involved… It’s a preventable thing.” 
 
 Tuzzeo said a family of five lived in the house, and three of them were minors. 
 
 “They used our park. The kids were out there all the time,” she said. 
 
 Hank Huynh has lived in the neighborhood for about 16 years and said the family often hosted barbecues and birthdays with live music in Spanish. 
 
 “They moved in just a couple of years ago; they’re good people,” said Huynh, who said he was shocked to find out about the accident despite warnings from authorities about using generators safely. 
 
 The Orange County deputy who responded to the home was overwhelmed by the fumes and had to step outside. He was treated at the scene.

 Another dozen people in Brevard and Polk counties were poisoned Tuesday by carbon monoxide from generators running in their garages. 
 
 The incidents should serve as a reminder for all Floridians dealing with power outages in Hurricane Irma’s wake to keep generators outside, Titusville Fire Department Battalion Chief Greg Sutton said. Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and can be fatal when inhaled. 
 
 “All across the state, this power is going to be a big deal,” Sutton said. “This is something that’s going to be going on for a long time.” 
 
 Generators, which release carbon monoxide, should never be used indoors, in garages, or any place that is not well-ventilated, Orange County spokeswoman Doreen Overstreet added. 
 
 People who use generators should have carbon-monoxide detectors installed and keep the generators’ exhausts directed away from the home or any windows or doors. 
 
 In Brevard County, a Titusville family and their two dogs were treated for carbon-monoxide poisoning after leaving their generator on inside a closed garage after Hurricane Irma knocked out their power, and two other carbon-monoxide poisonings were reported in Polk County, officials said Tuesday. 
 
 In the Brevard incident, two adults and their six children were reporting symptoms of carbon-monoxide poisoning, including headaches and nausea, Sutton said. 
 
 The family had fallen asleep while their generator was left running in the garage. Sutton said it was lucky they woke up in time to call 911. 
 
 When the Fire Department and Brevard County Fire Rescue arrived, the family got out of the house and went to a hospital for treatment, Sutton said. Everyone was conscious. 
 
 The Fire Department aired out the home and used canine masks to give oxygen treatments to the family’s two dogs. They also have two pythons, but Sutton said the firefighters did not have the equipment or training to treat the snakes, which survived. 
 
 In Polk, four people were hospitalized, two in serious condition, after running generators in garages in two separate incidents — one near Lakeland and the other in Lake Alfred — a county spokesman said. 
 
 Sutton said people sometimes keep generators inside to prevent theft, but they should be kept at least 15 to 20 feet away from homes and buildings. He also said people should not cook with anything gas-fired inside. 
 
 Polk officials advise residents to install carbon-monoxide alarms; turn off generators and let them cool before refueling; and store generators in labeled containers intended for that purpose.

– 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.
