Installing Smoke Alarms.
Your smoke alarms need to be well-placed and in a working condition to be able to be effective and be capable of saving lives. Most of the domestic fires that lead to injury or death occur during night time when people are sleeping in absence of a working smoke alarm.
In Western Australia, it is required by law to have mains-powered smoke alarms in homes that are being sold, transferred, rented, or hired. It should be placed in:
MULTI-LEVEL HOMES
On each level containing bedrooms
On every other level
SINGLE LEVEL HOMES (on or near ceilings)
In all the hallways leading up to the bedrooms.
In absence of a hallway, it should be in areas near the bedroom.
