It’s the situation that no one expects to be in, but sadly there are thousands of building fires every year in Australia. Early detection is the key when it comes to protecting your family and your home and that’s why smoke alarms have been mandatory in all new Western Australian homes since 1997 and all existing homes prior to transfer of ownership since 2009.
Some facts about smoke alarms
- Smoke alarms are very affordable.
- They are easy to maintain once installed.
- Risk of death from fire or smoke inhalation is three times more likely in homes that do not have working smoke alarms or none at all.
- Smoke alarms provide additional valuable evacuation time to victims in the event of a fire.
