In a fire, most casualties fall because of smoke inhalation. Smoke detectors raise the alarm when they detect smoke. A smoke detector can therefore save your life.

Did you know that:

  • you can’t smell anything while sleeping, including smoke?

  • a smoke detector sounds an alarm and ensures that you have time to escape?

  • smoke detectors do not go off when you are just smoking a cigarette?

  • a smoke detector is really easy to install, it usually takes only 1 minute?

  • smoke detectors can be bought at DIY and electronics stores?
