We had a lovely chap from our local Fire Brigade come round last night to assess what was needed in our house.
One look at my sewing room and he installed a smoke alarm. If I need one you do too.....
The newer smoke alarms have batteries built in to last ten years. Once a month point the vacuum cleaner up at it to clean out the detector and press the battery check button once a month. That's it. It could save your life.
It made me realise the only thing I would try and save would there be a fire were the humans and the cat. Everything else is replaceable. (and insured).
I had them come around the other week. We've got a smoke alarm upstairs that's 'plumbed' into the mains. they decide that I needed another one downstairs. so where did they put it, outside the kitchen door. Now everytime the toast pops up in the toaster, the bloody alarm goes off.
