Smoke Alarms – According to the National Fire Protection Association
Between 2013-2016, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
The U.S. Fire Administration recommends that every residence and place where people sleep be equipped with both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms or dual sensor smoke alarms, which contain both ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors.
Official FEMA Report States:
“If your smoke alarm was installed before January 2012, it needs to Be Replaced.”
