Smoke detectors are an important part of home safety


Posted January 8, 2023 by armandohgideonservicecompany

Many home fires can be prevented with proper understanding of smoke detectors.

 
It’s pretty hard to see the death toll of fire victims on TV from my native city of the Bronx, NY. Knowing that a properly working hardwired smoke detector could have meant that those people might still be with their children today. Although sometimes an afterthought, smoke detectors can be the single most important safety device when a fire breaks out. They are really meant to wake you up when you are sleeping, that's why they are interconnected to each other. If a fire starts in the back bedroom then that smoke alarm activates all the others throughout the home to wake you up in the middle of the night. We often walk into a home and find ourselves with the obligation to educate the homeowner that their smoke detectors are “expired” or past the recommended manufacturers lifespan of no more then 10 years. Most of the time, even though they are expired, they will still activate in the event of a fire but they will take a few minutes longer which is unacceptable when seconds count. A properly working hardwired smoke detector can mean a 69% higher survival rate according to a report from the national fire protection association.
