Every home should have a working fire alarm smoke detector in it. For improved safety this dual sensor smoke alarm is highly recommended. This smoke alarm's trademarked Hush feature allows you to silence nuisance alarms, while an indicator LED and test feature let you easily confirm that the alarm is working.
Dual-Sensor Technology for Improved Safety
Experts divide home fires into two groups: flaming and smoldering.
Flaming fires result from flammable liquids and cooking accidents, while smoldering fires most often occur when smoking materials, such as cigarettes, are left unattended.
Regardless of the technology, the most important thing is to ensure that you have working smoke alarms on every floor of your home, inside each bedroom and outside sleeping areas. Studies show placing alarms in both bedrooms and hallways could increase a family's escape time by up to 15 minutes.
