I spent a long time - about 8 years plus working with fire detection and seeing the results when fires spread and people were unable to get out. Some of these were at christmas and seeing everything completely destroyed as well as people, by flames is not nice. As a lot of people have candles at this time of the year, please will you all do me a favour this next 24 hours and check your smoke detectors are working. When was the last time youput the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner up there and cleaned it?
I have seen what fire can do when detectors were not fitted or not working and its an unpleasent scene. Even though I am no longer in the industry, I never forget those days - just 10 seconds is all it takes. A new battery is cheaper than a funeral.
Sorry to be morbid, but it has to be necessary and you never know, it may save your life.
Thanks
