When you sleep, your sense of smell also sleeps. If a fire starts toxic fumes can over come you. Photoelectric smoke alarms sense smoke and give greater warning ahead of smouldering fires.
It's the number, the location and the interconnection of smoke alarms that give residents the best possible chance to vacate premises.
Photoelectric smoke alarms are best for smouldering fires, these are the most common fires in a residential environment, they respond faster to larger smoke particles, such as those produced by burning synthetic materials, burning foam, rubber and plastics. They are highly recommended in bedrooms, lounges, and other living areas.
