• Smoke alarms need to be tested regularly
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke cannot reach them
• Fires in chimneys, walls, roofs, different levels or behind closed doors might not be detected
• For the physically or mentally impaired, or very young, escape may be difficult and so
alternave escape strategies should be adopted
• The smoke alarm may not wake heavy sleepers or those impaired by the use of drugs or
alcohol. In this case an alarm should be fied in each sleeping area
• Smoke alarms can save lives, but they are not an alternave for an adequate insurance policy
to protect lives and property
Leading authories recommend that both ionisaon and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed to
help insure maximum detecon of the various types of fires that can occur within the home.
Ionisaon sensing alarms may detect invisible fire parcles (associated with fast flaming fires)
sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire parcles
(associated with slow smoldering fires) sooner than ionisaon alarms.
