Re: House fire blamed on smoke detector

[Jim Rojas <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let's get it right here...the fault probably lies on UL Labs shoulders,
for probably quickly approving the smoke detector for roach motel
builder lick it and stick it applictions.

AC powered smoke detectors have always been a bad idea IMHO. Low current
smokes like the alarm industry uses, would reduce, or even eliminate
that issue.

Maybe it was the AHJ, or Fire Marshal who looked at the pretty smokes
mounted 8 to 12 feet up, and saw a nice blinking light, and was happy
with that as an inspection. Then, you never hear from these bozos ever
again. If there is no financial gain, they could really care less. Let's
be honest about it.
