A smoke alarm is a very basic but essential safety feature for all homes. They literally save lives and protect your most important assets from being damaged or destroyed by a fire. Smoke detectors have the advantage of being able to detect smoke from a fire well before a person could, especially if asleep.

Did you know the risk of death from fire is up to three times higher in homes without smoke detectors? This is why it’s extremely important that they are installed in your home or workplace and serviced regularly by a professional.

In Queensland smoke alarms are mandatory for all new homes, including rental properties. A basic but essential safety feature, smoke alarms can literally save lives and protect your most important assets from being damaged or destroyed through fire.

Smoke detectors detect smoke from fire well before the home occupants would, especially if asleep, and allow more time for emergency steps to be taken to save lives and property.
