Have Your Installed Smoke Detector In Home/Office

[TomFred]

Every 83 seconds a fire stats, and in some cases lives are taken. So
every one should know how serious a smoke detector or smoke
alarm is. They sense the first sign of flame, give the earliest alarm
so people can survive by getting the most precious in a fire incident-
the time to run.
Most smoke detector fall into two types - inolization type and
photoeletronic type. Inolization alarm has edge in sensing small
particles of smoke produced by flaming fires, such as chip pans, and
will detect this type of fire before the smoke gets too thick.
The laser one is more expensive but more effective at detecting larger
particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering
foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring.
To have doubled safety, a dual sense alarm seems the right way however
they are quite expensive.
Anyone interested in smoke alarm keeps this topic going, or email me

Every 83 seconds a fire stats...

83.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

and in some cases lives are taken...

In other cases only the money is taken.

So every one should know how serious a smoke detector or smoke
alarm is...

As opposed to heat detectors which are only kidding?

They sense the first sign of flame...

Actually, they sense smoke. Flame detectors sense flames. We probably ought
to install one on this newsgroup.

give the earliest alarm so people can survive by getting the most precious
in a fire incident- the time to run.

Walk, please. No sense getting hurt from a fall.

Most smoke detector fall into two types - inolization type...

Uh, yeah. Nothing like expert advice. :^)

and photoeletronic type. Inolization alarm has edge in sensing small
particles of smoke produced by flaming fires, such as chip pans...

Chip pans? Used to carry winnings in Vegas?

The laser one is more expensive but more effective at detecting larger
particles of smoke produced by slow-burning fires, such as smouldering
foam-filled upholstery and overheated PVC wiring.

Lasers, huh?

While I would admit that this poster's attempt to start a discussion was
a bit clumsy, the topic (IMHO) is not really worthy of ridicule.

Lives ARE lost due to the absence of working smoke detectors or
inadequate coverage.

I would take his question one step further:

Have you ensured that your loved ones are NOT sleeping in a home or
apartment that is unprotected?

I have... now.

83.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Yes, you rarely use numbers, but prefer to use terms like "most", and
"always"...

In other cases only the money is taken.

That's not necessarily true. If you purchase something with a credit
card, you often have more recovery resources available. Consumers also
have the option of obtaining a report on the company they anticipate
doing business with. There's "ripoffreport.com", and the Better
Business Bureau.

Actually, they sense smoke. Flame detectors sense flames. We probably
ought to install one on this newsgroup.

No need. They're easy to spot. Just look for "Robert L Bass" in the
right hand column.

I personally think discussion of smoke detectors would be good. There's
always more for you to learn about, Robert.

Are you using ilonized or laser models? :^)

Perhaps, rather than ridicule, you might educate.

BTW, when one is ridiculing another, it is wise to check one's spelling.

not lasers, the "later" one

 

[JoeRaisin]

not lasers, the "later" one

I think you meant 'latter' which would indicate the second of the two items.

Don't sweat it.

I think you will find that most here advocate use of the photoelectric
ones (pure conjecture on my part based upon the folks I know in the
alarm industry - I could be just as wrong as the day is long).

I prefer photoelectric because I believe that most (not all) residential
fires begin with a period smoldering.

Educate whom?

I deliberately copied the misspellings.
