9. Limitations of some alarms
Smoke alarms have played a key role in reducing deaths
resulting from home fires worldwide. However, like any
warning device, smoke alarms can only work if they are
properly located, installed, and maintained, and if smoke can
reach the alarms.
- Smoke alarms may not wake all individuals.
- Smoke alarms cannot detect fires if the smoke does not
reach the alarms. Smoke from fires in chimneys or walls,
on roofs or on the other side of closed doors may not reach
bedroom or sleeping area - especially if the bedrooms or
sleeping area doors are closed at night.
- Smoke alarms may not have time to sound before the fire
itself causes damage, injury, or death, since smoke from
some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Examples of
this include persons smoking in bed, children playing with
matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from
escaping gas.
- Smoke alarms are not foolproof. Like any electronic device,
smoke alarms are made of components that can wear out
or fail at any time. You must test the unit weekly to ensure
your continued protection. Smoke alarms cannot prevent
or extinguish fires. They are not a substitute for property or
life insurance.
- Smoke alarms have a limited life. The unit should be replaced
immediately if it is not operating properly. You should
always replace a smoke alarm after 10 years from date of
purchase. Write the purchase date on the space provided
on back of unit.
