Smoke detectors
Smoke detectors are devices that alert you to the presence of smoke, which can indicate a fire. They use sensors to detect smoke particles in the air and activate an alarm, typically a loud sound, to warn occupants. There are two common types: ionization detectors, which are more responsive to flaming fires, and photoelectric detectors, which are more sensitive to smoldering fires. Proper placement and regular testing of smoke detectors are essential for early fire detection and safety in homes and workplaces. They are vital for providing early warnings, helping to save lives and reduce property damage.
