October 5-11 is Fire Prevention Week
There are two types of smoke detectors.
One type, the ionization type, is better at detecting non smokey fires.
The other type, photoelectric, is better at detecting fires that are smokey.
Since speed of detection is very important in escaping to safety and putting out the fire quickly I recommend that you have both types of detectors in your home.
Fire Escape Route
If you have small children in your home, make sure one window in each child's bedroom is easily opened. Children have a tendency to try and open windows instead of breaking them to escape a fire.
Children often die in fires for that very reason. They are afraid to break windows, because they believe they will get in trouble, even if they wont actually.
Please forward this information to others, they will appreciate it. Also consider giving smoke detectors as a Christmas gift.
