Smoke Alarm
Th smok alarm monitors th air for products of

NFPA 72 stat s: Lif saf ty from fir in r sid ntial
occupanci s is bas d primarily on arly notification to
occupants of th n d to scap , follow d by th
appropriat gr ss actions by thos occupants. Fir warning
syst ms for dw lling units ar capabl of prot cting about
half of th occupants in pot ntially fatal fir s. Victims ar
oft n intimat with th fir , too old or young, or physically
or m ntally impair d such that th y cannot scap v n
wh n warn d arly nough that scap should b possibl .
For th s p opl , oth r strat gi s such as prot ction-in-
plac or assist d scap or r scu ar n c ssary.
• Smok alarms ar d vic s that can provid arly warning
of possibl fir s at a r asonabl cost; how v r, alarms
hav s nsing limitations. Ionization s nsing alarms may
d t ct invisibl fir particl s (associat d with fast flaming
fir s) soon r than photo l ctric alarms. Photo l ctric
s nsing alarms may d t ct visibl fir particl s (associat d
with slow smold ring fir s) soon r than ionization alarms.
Hom fir s d v lop in diff r nt ways and ar oft n unpr -
dictabl . For maximum prot ction, Kidd r comm nds
that both Ionization and Photo l ctric alarms b install d.
• A batt ry-pow r d alarm must hav a batt ry of th
sp cifi d typ , in good condition and install d prop rly.
• Smok alarms must b t st d r gularly to mak sur th
batt ri s and th alarm circuits ar in good op rating
condition.
• Smok alarms cannot provid an alarm if smok do s not
