By having smoke detectors in your flat or apartment, you can prepare and provide yourself and your family with many additional advantages in an emergency situation, most importantly, extra time.
Early exposure of smoke by a detector gives you prior warning and more time to evacuate, before the smoke or flames would have normally been smelt.
A smoke detector can raise your chances of survival and reduce risk
of potential casualties and even fatalities, and therefore you must make sure that it is tested on a regular basis and that any dead batteries are replaced.
The smoke alarm offered here features a test button and will give off a sound signifying that the
battery is low when it is time to replace it.
The position of your smoke alarms around the house should be carefully considered and there are smoke alarms purposely designed for certain areas, such as the kitchen. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more advice.
For Residents Management Companies, your annual Fire Risk Assessment will include the check of your communal smoke detectors.
