Smoke alarms are a vital component of home safety. They provide early detection, crucial time to escape, and an opportunity for effective firefighting response, all of which can save lives, reduce injuries, and minimise property damage in the event of a fire.
The new Queensland legislation requires a smoke alarm in every bedroom, hallway or living area off the bedrooms and an alarm on every level.
This is to alert all family members, when asleep or awake, throughout the home.
