Smoke Detectors
Every home needs “working” smoke detectors in the following locations:
- Inside EVERY Sleeping Area
- Outside EVERY Sleeping Area.
- One on EVERY Level (Basement, First Floor, Second Floor)
The industry has developed a better technology type detector (P) Photoelectric and it responds quickly to slow smoldering fires. The older (I) Ionization technology is still available but studies are showing they are not as responsive as the (P) Photoelectric detectors.
Many new detectors now contain with a 10 year battery. Put the detector in and when the unit starts to chirp indicating low battery replace it.
