Most fatal home fires occur at night, while people are asleep. Poisonous gases and smoke from a fire in your home can numb the senses in a very short time.
Every home needs a device that can wake people up in time to escape from a fire.
Of all the low-cost fire alarm devices you can buy, the Fire Chief considers smoke detectors to be the most effective. How To Choose A Smoke Detector There are dozens of reputable brands of smoke detectors readily available. No matter where you buy your detectors or what type they are, be sure to buy only ones carrying the mark of an organization that tests and evaluates products. Any labeled smoke detector offers protection - whether it's powered by batteries or household current, whether it's photoelectric or ionization device. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for installation, testing and maintenance.
