Honeywell - Model X-Series -Battery Powered Smoke and Heat Alarms

n the UK alone, deaths from fires have fallen by more than 60% since the introduction of smoke and heat alarms in the mid 1990’s. Homes with a working smoke or heat alarm have been found to have a death rate that is 50% lower than homes without one. The longer people spend inside a burning building, the less their chance of survival is as they begin to suffer from smoke inhalation and could become trapped. Smoke and heat alarms give that vital extra time before these dangers occur, and give you the advised three minutes to get out of a burning building.1 Smoke and heat alarms offer an early warning system that works. Research has found that for every £1 spent on an alarm, more than £50 is saved in fire related costs.2
