Most deadly fires occur when households are asleep and are unaware of the danger. Early warning is of paramount importance as smoke and deadly gases spread over a greater distance faster than heat.
If there is a fire in your house, the smoke will spread quickly; You should use a smoke alarm to be aware of the fire as early as possible and to protect yourself. Smoke alarms are stand-alone devices that detect and warn of fire; therefore, they play an important role in reducing deaths and injuries from fire.
Install a smoke alarm capable of detecting flaming or smoldering fires in each bedroom, with at least one alarm on each floor, including the attic and basement.
