First Alert Maximum Protection Fire & Smoke Alarm |
Smoke alarms save peoples’ lives every day in homes throughout America but fire
deaths still happen. By ensuring that you have working smoke alarms, you can cut
your risk of perishing in a home fire by half, according to the National Fire Protection
Association (N.F.P.A). “Almost 3,000 people die in fires every year, with most of
these deaths occurring in homes,” said Lorraine Carli, N.F.P.A’s Vice President of
Outreach and Advocacy. “The vast majority of home fire deaths are preventable, and
working smoke alarms play a big role in helping reduce those numbers.”
This is why the theme for NFPA’s Fire Prevention Week is working hard to make
smoke alarms save lives and wants you to make sure you test yours every month.
“Smoke alarms can make a life-saving difference in a fire, but they need to be
working,” said Carli who is a representative. “Unfortunately, many home fire deaths
result from fires where a smoke alarm is present but does not operate. This year,
we’re trying to motivate people to test their smoke alarms each month to make sure
they’re working properly.”
The First Alert SA320CN comes equipped with a dual-sensor alarm providing some of
the best security when it comes to detecting fires as soon as smoke or heat is sensed.
the combination of ionization and photoelectric sensors is what is recommended by
experts to provide warnings toward any dangerous of the type of fire hazard. This
smoke alarm earns good reviews and positive feedback from most owners, but there
are a few complaints that concern the durability that could be better improved.
Since these small, unobtrusive, but life-saving devices have become such a fixture in
homes across the country, it’s easy to take for granted that they work properly. you
should use guidelines that will help protect you and your family. remember that there
should be at least one smoke alarm on every level of the home (including the
basement), outside all sleeping areas and in every bedroom and to make sure that
smoke alarms that include a 10-year non-replaceable battery, replace the entire smoke
alarm if it begins to “chirp,” indicating that the battery is running low.

smoke alarms that include a 10-year non-replaceable battery, replace the entire smoke
alarm if it begins to “chirp,” indicating that the battery is running low.
Complaints vary by user experience. some say they have had faulty models that drain
the batteries very quickly or that continue to sound a low battery warning even with
fresh batteries installed. the First Alert SA320CN is backed by a limited, 10-year
warranty but most get tired of repeated problems and are unhappy with their product
so they just throw their smoke detector away while others contacted the company
who is responsive and had their problems resolved in a short amount of time.
Although this has been rated one of the "best" by consumer reports It would be best
not put all your hopes into it because no smoke detector is a substitute for smelling
smoke or noticing fire before the smoke detector activates and notifies all those who
hear it within the distance allotted. please remember to be aware at all times and that
technology is no replacement for human awareness.
