This is serious-Smoke Detectors
I went to a fire safety dinner last night. It was put on by local firefighter. I was surprised to find out that the (ion) smoke detectors that almost everyone has only works 55.8% of the time. Thats right-55.8% thats it. Also the manual says that the smoke detector works in a temperature range of 40 deg F to 100 deg F.
Very scary. Optical smoke detectors are far better, but more expensive. I just could not believe the failure rate on these detectors. Talk about a having a false sense of security.
