Re: House fire blamed on smoke detector

[Jim Rojas <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

They first required smoke detectors in the hall to adjoining bedrooms.
Split bedroom plans required a smoke in each hallway. Now they require a
smoke detector inside each bedroom, Heat Detectors in the laundry room,
kitchen area, the boiler, the hot water heater, the air handler, the
attic, the basement, the garage...CO Detectors, NG detectors, Flood
detectors, fart detectors, This & That detector, only to increase the
chance ten fold that of one of these devices may be faulty, or what say you.

Yet the statistic haven't changed. Homes burn down just as quickly, and
people still die of smoke inhalation, with or without these devices in
place. I have no AC powered smokes in my home. In fact, I have Ademco
wireless smokes & heats, and I also have 9v lithium powered smokes as a
standby. One set has built in escape lights, and temporal sync sounders.
