SMOKE DETECTORS & ALARMS
When shopping for smoke alarms, consumers should consider the different types
of smoke alarms. Both types are effective smoke sensors. Ionization type
smoke detectors respond quickly to flaming fires. Photoelectric type smoke detectors respond
sooner to smoldering fires. Because both ionization alarms and photoelectric smoke
alarms are better at detecting distinctly different yet potentially fatal fires, and
because homeowners cannot predict what type of fire might start in a home,
Resculite recommends consumers install both ionization smoke alarms and photoelectric type
smoke alarms in their homes. There are smoke detectors that combine both
detection technologies into one unit called dual sensor smoke alarms.
In addition, consider interconnected smoke alarms. Interconnected smoke
alarms allow all smoke alarms in the establishment to sound if one has detected smoke,
and they may provide improved protection and offer more time to escape a fire.
