|Every house should have a DUAL mode smoke detector,
As a professsional firefighter/paramedic for nearly 13 years, I see a lot of fires. I do know that most detectors out there are NOT dual sensor….they are mostly only ionization detectors that detect flame. Remember it’s usually not the fire that will kill you, it’s the smoke and it’s deadly component carbon monoxide. Photoelectric detectors detect these smoke particles and alert you…….ionization rarely do if it’s a slow smoldering fire. If your sleeping, by the time the ionization sensors detect the actual flames, the smoke and the CO will most likely have already gotten to you and you will be dead. That’s why it’s so VERY VERY important to have a dual-sensor smoke detector. This item is NOT a dual sensor and the manufacturer clearly states every home should have both types of sensors to protect you 100{660353129f8d892044c993645a1c75194301fec6786a7f617c15adde0b0011e9} from fire related death/injury. Always look for a photoelectric/ionization detector and buy one. Have one in your hallway, in the main living room at the very least and I always like to put one in each room because I am overly cautious. Also make sure to have a B-C extinguisher on hand near the kitchen to put out kitchen grease fires….the #1 cause of residential structure fires. Hopefully you can put a small one out, but if you discharge the entire extinguisher and the fire is not out……evacuate the house immediately and make sure you or someone called 911 prior to exiting your home. Stay safe !

|Simple, small and it works,
We needed a few more alarms around the house and these were priced right.
They have a mount which secures to the wall, the sensor unit can be taken down by rotating off the mount. They even come with batteries.
