Re: Which Smoke Alarm?
I think you need different alarms to do different jobs. A smoke alarm only detects smoke which is fine for some areas of a property but a heat alarm is better in others. I always buy an alarm which has a light that comes on when the alarm is triggered. If you have a power outage (caused by a fire) you need to be able to see your way out of the house. I also thoroughly recommend a carbon monoxide alarm not just if you have a gas boiler but because carbon monoxide poisoning can be caused by wood burning stoves and indoor BBQs etc.Originally posted by IF View Post
I get all mine from B & Q after advice from my local fire officer. They even have a "toast proof" alarm too

Re: Which Smoke Alarm?
In which case get yourself a small fire extinguisher to keep in the kitchen. You life has got to be worth more than £16.98.Originally posted by Never-In-Doubt View PostI've removed the batteries on ours and switched off at the mains too pain in arse beeping!!!

Re: Which Smoke Alarm?
I'm a qualified chef, never used a fire extinguisher yet and have no intention to now - although in saying that, I suppose I should buy one for when poppy is in thereOriginally posted by PlanB View Post

Re: Which Smoke Alarm?
I intended to post up a list of the Top Ten Causes of House Fires to remind us all that prevention is better than cure. I found myself reading the London Fire Brigade diary of incidents where I noticed some unusual reasons such as a crystal ball on a windowsill which caused the sun to set fire to the curtains and burn down the house
My favourite is a fire started by a bird dropping a lit cigarette butt in someone's house
which goes to show that it's impossible to prevent all fires hence the need for a reliable smoke detector
