Carpenter said:A working smoke alarm may save your life. I work in the industry so I'm very familiar with Fire Safety Certificates etc. We have two mains wired smoke alarms, an ABC powder extinguisher and a fire blanket in the kitchen. The most important thing for people to remember is not to lock themselves into their own homes- by that I mean that if you have a Munster Joinery type door be sure that the key to open it (from the inside) is located nearby! I don't know what the statistics are but most fires are very preventable; a lot of fires start as a result of the obvious dirty grill pan, unattended candles, poor wiring/ faulty electrical equipment and smouldering cigarettes.
Carpenter said:My point is this: a fire alarm that is not working, fitted with a dead battery etc is worthless. In fact the merits of a battery operated fire alarm (ie not a mains/ hard wired alarm) are dubious. Grade E and F type alarm systems (which are battery only operated or mains only operated) are not acceptable for new houses (See Part B, Buil;ding Regulations 2006).

When I enquired about them in other branches they told me that they were a new product that they were trying out and because they sold so quickly they would probably be in again but they did not have an exact timescaleFire extinguishers etc. also sold out quickly.
