For many years, fire departments such as Boston’s fire department, have been troubled by the fact that people have been dying in fires where there were fully operational smoke detectors. This phenomenon hasn’t gone unnoticed by the media, as they too have documented this, and have even conducted tests to show the public.
The purpose of this presentation is to provide factual information to explain why people are dying with working smoke alarms, so we as leaders can educate the public and effect policy that will save lives. This presentation will help you gain a better understanding of the vast differences between ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms.
We feel strongly that the wrong smoke alarm is prevalent in our residential structures and that is why so many people are dying in fires with working smoke detectors.
