Why Are Smoke Alarms Important in Homes
Why Are Smoke Alarms Important in Homes
A smoke alarm is critical for the early
detection of a fire in your home and could mean the difference between life and
death. Fires can occur in a variety of ways and in any room of your home. But
no matter where or how, having a smoke alarm is the first key step toward your
family’s safety.
Every year in Nigeria people lose their lives
in residential fires. In a fire, smoke and deadly gases tend to spread farther
and faster than heat. That's one reason why most fire victims die from
inhalation of smoke and toxic gases, not from burns. A majority of fatal fires
happen when families are asleep because occupants are unaware of the fire until
there is not adequate time to escape. A smoke alarm stands guard around the
clock, and when it first senses smoke, it sounds a shrill alarm. This often
allows a family the precious, but limited, time needed to escape.
About two-thirds of home fire deaths occur in
homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Properly installed and
maintained smoke alarms
are considered to be one of the best and least
expensive means of providing an early warning of a potentially deadly fire and
could reduce by almost half the risk of dying from a fire in your home.
