When it comes to outfitting your home with a dependable Smoke Alarm or Smoke Detector that is celebrated for its efficiency and performance, First Alert has gone the additional mile by incorporating a series of Fire Safety Devices that excel in offering the ultimate in peace of mind.

There are many different brands of smoke alarms available on the market but they fall under two basic types: ionization and photoelectric. Ionization alarms and detectors sound more quickly when a flaming, fast moving fire occurs. Photoelectric alarms and detectors are quicker at sensing smoldering, smoky fires.

There are also combination alarms that combine ionization or photoelectric technology with an electrochemical sensor to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide. Because both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms are better at detecting distinctly different yet potentially fatal fires, and because homeowners cannot predict what type of fire might start in a home, it is recommended that both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms be installed. Additionally there are Wireless smoke detectors like the First Alert OneLink detectors that interconnect so that when one alarm goes off, all of them sound making notification much louder. In addition to the basic types of alarms, there are smoke alarms made to meet the needs of people with hearing disabilities. These smoke alarms may use strobe lights that flash and/or vibrate to assist in alerting those who are unable to hear standard smoke alarms when they sound.

Where to Place Smoke Alarms: One in every bedroom, and at least one on every level of the home.
