Smoke Alarms Nuisance alarms and photoelectric and multicriteria alarm solutions

摘要

It is critical that local authorities pay attention to what is going on with smoke alarms. How much do we really know about the state of developments relative to these life saving devices? First, smoke alarms do save lives. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that the death rate per 100 reported fires is more than twice as high in homes that did not have working smoke alarms compared to homes with working alarms. If you want real-world examples, Tennessee is reporting more than 100 lives saved since it began an aggressive smoke alarm awareness and installation campaign some years ago. There are many other examples, but you get the point.
