The Trouble with Smoke Detectors

Coy Barefoot

Courteney Stuart is the senior editor at ‘The Hook’, a weekly
magazine from Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.  She has written
a series of cover stories, about the smoke alarms found in most
homes.

Her in-depth research and attention to detail is helping the
public and fire fighters around the world discover what has
been described by a US Fire Marshal as “the most vital life
safety issue the fire service will face in our lifetime.”
