11.LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE 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 reaches the Alarms. They are not foolproof.
11.1 Smoke alarms may not waken all individuals.
Practice the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from
kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape planning and practice before
holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken
to the sound of the smoke alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility
limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire drill and in the event of
an emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping
in order to determine their response to the sound of the smoke alarm while sleeping and to
determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an emergency.
11.2 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 bedroom or sleeping area doors
are closed at night- and in the hallway between them.
11.3 Smoke alarms may not have time to alarm 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.
11.4 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.
