There have been many cases where these devices have saved countless lives
However there are also few cases where there are fatalities even if the burning building has detectors installed. It was because the owners did not install them in the right places or even hide them in their cupboard, and also the owners fail to test the alarms regularly.

Maintaining Your Smoke Alarm
If you want to install a smoke alarm at home, here are a few things you should consider:
- Install alarms in every room, living area and hallway of your home.
- Install them in the middle of the ceiling in each room.
- If you can only afford one device at a time, install it in the hallway closest to the bedrooms.

Never install a smoke alarm in your kitchen
The smoke and heating from cooking and using certain appliances like the toaster can make the alarm sound off. Do not also install it in the bathroom, laundry area or garage. If you happen to have a family member who has a hearing impediment, you can also buy a special smoke alarm. Approach your local deaf support organization and ask about this option.
