WFSF Message: You Can Help Save Lives

Mr David Isaac is an Australian standards committee member. For

years, hes been warning that the Australian and the U.S. smoke

alarm standards are flawed and that people have the wrong type of

smoke alarm in their home. In a 60 Minutes special investigation

into Austra lias wors t ever house fire , Mr Isaac said,

We produced all the CSIRO test evidence

which shows how bad these things are in

the test fire in the CSIRO laboratory . . .

I can guarantee you that if photoelectric

smoke alarms were mandated in homes in

Australia and New Zealand that the death

tol l from residential f ires would dro .

Well the Board is not satisfied at

this stage that it needs to make

any further changes to the Code.Neil Savery | G.M., ABCB

f ter decades of misinformation, the smoke alarm industry

continues to mislead thepublic and fire fighters. The industry

claims ionization alarms are safe. However, the standardsA

That house had ionization alarms. But theyd been turned off

because they kept going off when they werent supposed to.

Photoelectric smoke alarms dont have the same problem.

In March 2007, despite The CAN Report and Standard Australia's second Preliminary Impact Assessment

providing the ABCB with overwhelming scientific evidence and legal precedents, the ABCB wrote to the World

Fire Safety Foundation (see below) stating the problem was not clear to the Board. Consider the following:

In 2004, the ABCB approved changes to the Building Code of Australia (BCA - the Code), the effect of which is to

mandate photoelectric smoke detectors in new commercial buildings. Legislation has been enacted to mandate

photoelectric alarms in several U.S. states and municipalities and Australias Northern Territory. However, the ABCB

has refused to change the Code to mandate photoelectric smoke alarms in Australian and New Zealand homes.

The ABCBs Refusal to Change the Code is Putting Lives at Risk

Please Help Spread This Message . . .See Page 10

It is not clear to the Board from theevidence available that ionizationdetectors do not achieve the level ofperformance required for warning

occupants in the event of a fire.ABCBs Chairman of the Board,

Well the Board is not satisfied..at this stage that it needs..

to make any further..changes to the Code.

ABCBs General Manager, Mr Neil

Saverys response to 60 Minutes

question about changing the Code

October 2014

(see page 3)Neil Savery

In 2007 - 2008 Standards Australia made the needed revisions toAustralia's flawed smokealarm standard. However, why is theAustralianBuilding Codes Board (ABCB) continuing to block the adoption of therevised standard into the Building Code of Australia (BCA - the Code)?

Why Wont the ABCB Change t he Code?

The ABCBs Double Standard

In February 2007, the World Fire Safety Foundation sent hard copies of its

C.A.N. Report by registered mail to 11 ABCB senior staff and all 15 Board

Members. Their names and positions are on page 14 of the report.

The report supported Standard Australia's second attempt to have the ABCB

adopt Australias amended smoke alarm standard (AS3786-1993) into the

Building Code of Australia (BCA). The report provided compelling evidence that

ionization alarms are unsafe. It also warned of legal implications for the ABCBs

ongoing failure to adopt Standards Australias critical amendment into the BCA.www.TheWFSF.org/can

The C.A.N.Report

FACT: Australian Government (CSIRO) test data since 1993 show ionization alarms fail to activate in AustralianStandards testing until more than three times the maximum safe limit set for photoelectric alarms.

FACT: Legislation to mandate photoelectric smoke alarms has been enacted in Australias Northern Territory andthe U.S. states of Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont and numerous cities and municipalities.

FACT: The June 2006, official position of all Australian and New Zealand Fire Brigades states, That allresidential accommodation be fitted with photoelectric smoke alarms . . . Ionization smoke alarms may

not operate in timeto alert occupants early enough to escape from smoldering fires.(emphasis added)

FACT: Standards Australia has revised the Australian Smoke Alarm Standard (AS3786-1993). Despite repeatedattempts, the ABCB has refused to adopt it into the Building Code of Australia.

FACT: U.S. Federal court judges declared an ionization smoke alarm to be "defectively designed" and itsfailure to be a legal cause of deaths (Sheila Hackert v First Alert Inc. March 2008).

FACT: Since the 1996 edition of the BCA, photoelectric detectors have been mandated in all Australian hospitals.

Ionization Technology Concerns

But my alarms pass the Standard, surely they must be OK?

Myths

Explained

see page 5 M Y T H

1. Fa ilure to ActivateIonization alarms inability to safely detect fire in

the early smoldering stage was first exposed in the1976 Smoke Detector Fraud Report. See TheHistory of Why America is Burning on page 14.

CSIRO Test DataThe Australian governments CommonwealthScientific and Industrial Research Organization(CSIRO) holds scientific test data which show thationization alarms do not activate in AustralianStandards testing until more than three times thelimit set for photoelectric alarms.

Legal PrecedentsIn The Law and You radio

interview, world experts discuss theConfidentiality Order preventing

disclosure of the level of smokeionization alarms activate underCSIRO testing (see page 14).

People often say, My smoke alarms goes offwhen Im cooking toast - It must be working fine.Ionization alarms are invisible particle detectors.They detect invisible particles from cooking or anopen flame. They do not detect visible smoke, eventhough they may appear to. Slow smoldering fires

All ionization alarms contain radioactive material.

4. Environmental/Disposal Problem

Radiation Warning Label

Photoelectric alarms do not contain radioactive material. .

www.TheWFSF.org/radiation

Australian Smoke Alarm Standard AS3786-1993: Page 16, Clause 4.2(j)

. . . Where the smoke alarm contains a radioactive source,information about the source and instructions on how toreturn the smoke alarm to the supplier or to theDepartment of Health. Warning shall also be given thatalternative disposal is not permitted.

Radioactive Materials: Disposal Problem

When fire fighters are called out to homes with firesresulting from smoke alarm activations, the type of smokealarm used is critical for public and fire fighter safety. If thealarm is activated by a fire in the flaming stage, the difference

between ionization and photoelectric alarms is only a matter ofa difference of seconds - if it has not been disconnected and ifit is in the room of fire origin.

However, most fatal fires have a long smoldering phase.Photoelectric alarms can activate an hour or more beforeionization alarms in smoldering fires. When this happens, inmany cases consumers can safely put the fire out without anyrisk to themselves or our fire fighters.

3. Places Fire Fighters at Risk

Safer For Fire FightersTM

When firefighters are called outto a fire, if photoelectric alarms areinstalled, everyone should have

already exited the home. Whenfires have not reached the flamingstage, the risk to fire fighters isdramatically reduced.

2.High False Alarm & Disconnection Rate

emit visible smoke particles,

but not enough to activateionization alarms. They remainsilent during the smolderingstage of a fire - until the firebursts into flame, after which itis often too late to safelyescape (see pages 4 & 6).

Nuisance/false alarms from cooking lead peopleinto a false sense of security. They think theirionization alarms are sensitive and will give them anearly warning in the event of a real fire. This is notthe case when a fire starts with an extendedsmoldering phase while you are sleeping.Ionization alarms are on average over five timesmore likely to give a false alarm than photoelectrics!

Disconnection RateBecause of the inherent false alarm problem

with ionization technology, approximately 25% ofionization alarms are disconnected within the firsttwo years. The disconnection rate for photoelectricsis negligible.

Why are the Public, Fire Fighters and FireIndustry Personnel STILL Not Being Told

the Truth about Smoke Alarms?

Its Time to Tell the Publicand Fire Fighters the Truth

Since the mid-1970s, fire authorities have almostexclusively promoted ionization alarms. In December2005, the Chief of Vermonts Barre City Fire Departmentlost his niece and her four children in a home fitted with

hard-wired, working ionization alarms. The fire fighterswanted to know why theyd failed to activate.

They investigated and the truth that had beenburied sincethe IAFCs 1980 Residential Smoke AlarmReport (page 11) began to re-emerge. In 2009, Vermontbecame the first state in the USA to pass legislationmandating photoelectric-only smoke alarms.

Fire Fighters Lives At Risk

How could the smoke alarm industry hide the life-threatening defects when fire fighters were beginning todiscover their own lives were at risk? By adding theflawed (ionization) technology with the effective(photoelectric) technology, they hoped no-one wouldknow. Thatswhy their claim,There are two types of fireso you need two type of smoke alarms is so insidious.It appears to make sense - but is this valid or a myth?

Failure to Warn

Since 1980, manufacturers have failed to warnabout ionization alarms. However, since mid-2006, after26 years of failing to warn, they now claim we needionization and photoelectric alarms. Is it possible theirrecommendation for combination alarms or having oneof each is a transition away from ionization alarms?

Is it possible that therecommendation for.dual or for both ismaybe a.compromiseto transition.awayfrom ionizationdetectors?

of Fire - Not of Fire

Here is what they are not telling us. In most fatal fires, thereare two stages, smoldering and flaming. You must detectfire in the early, smoldering stage, before the flaming

stage, when it is too late to safely escape.

6. The Dual Alarm & Ionization/Photoelectric Combination Myth:

5. Affordability

Combination photoelectric/ionization alarms cost morethan stand-alone photoelectric alarms. Consumers withlimited budgets may not be able to afford to protect asmany rooms in their home with combination alarms aswith stand-alone, photoelectric alarms.

Consumer Groups Speak OutCost is one of several reasons that the IAFF, AFAC andothers do not recommend combination ion/photo alarms(page 12). Australian, U.S. and New Zealand consumerorganizations have discovered the defects with ionizationalarms and recommend photoelectric smoke alarms.

I think what we need to tell...people is pretty simple. ...

Do you want to live or die?..And if you want to live,..

and you want to get...out intime, then buy a...photoelectric detector.

... its really important that you have

photoelectric alarms in your house; those

smokey, smoldering fires are real killers...

Chris Barnes, Choice Australia, March 2010

The ionization models . . . were hopeless

for smouldering fires . . . That fail ing is

Photoelectric Alarms More Effective

Studies have shown that photoelectric units are moreeffective at detecting the types of fires that are most likely tobe fatal in homes: smoldering fires . . . The only case in whichthe ionization alarm responded first was when the alarm wasin the room of ignition of a flaming fire. Even then, thephotoelectric alarm still provided the occupants with enoughtime to escape safely. Executive Summary: Page X, para 2

But we dont have an official position on smoke alarms.

7. Sensor Sensitivity Manipulation (SSM)

M Y T H

Combination Smoke Alarms

However, combination units also have their drawbacks.Detectors can be combined using either an AND gate or anOR gate (Ian Thomas Interview, Appendix L). An OR gatewill sound an alarm if the unit receives a signal from eitherone of the detectors. This means that the unit will sound atthe earliest possible time, but also that the unit is susceptibleto the most nuisance alarms due to the cumulativeweaknesses of each detector. A unit designed with anAND gate will not sound until it receives a signal from

both detectors. Combination Smoke Alarms: Page 36, clause 4.1.3, para 3

www.TheWFSF.org/wpi

The Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), one of Americasoldest technical institutes, is located in Worcester,Massachussetts. The Fire Protection Association of Australia(FPAA) is Australias major technical and educational firesafety organization.

In 2009, the WPI produced a report for the FPAA to aid fireprotection officials around the world in drafting smoke alarmlegislation.

The following quotes are extracts from the report:

Sensor Sensitivity Manipulation (SSM)describes manipulating ionization sensorsettings in combination ionization/photoelectricalarms to reducing nuisance alarming.

In the above CPSC* chart, unwanted

activations are shown from two leadingmanufacturers (for legal reasons, the CPSCprotects manufacturer identities by namingthem A & B). It should be observed thatmanufacturer A had 115 of the total 127unwanted activations.

The WFSF thanks Dean Dennis

from Fathers For Fire Safety

for his research material

A group of fire protection authorities across the world, including Bostons

Deputy Fire Chief Joseph Fleming and New Zealands Adrian Butler, are

leading the push towards requiring photoelectric smoke alarms in all dwellings.

Conclusion

To provide earliest warning for all fires regardless of type,combination detectors (of the OR gate principle) are, ideallyspeaking, most effective. This assumes that they are fullyoperational, and do not have reduced or otherwise alteredsensitivities (Ed Comeau Interview, Appendix A). It must alsobe noted that, due to the frequency of nuisance alarms fromcurrent ionization technologies, combination detectors arelikely to be disabled by a consumer, rendering them uselessto warn occupants of any fire.

How You Can Help Save Lives:Since starting the campaign in 2000, there have been hundredsof media reports warning about problems with ionization alarms.Tragically, almost all of them get watered down.

60 Minutes Alarming Truth expos is the best ever produced.

It focuses on the crux of the problem: flawed smoke alarmstandards. Make sure everyone see this amazing story.

Spreading this message will save lives. Please help - thank you.

A Personal Message to Fire FightersAdrian Butler, Chairman WFSF, former full-time fire fighter | 13 Nov 2014

lives may be in dangerand that the

IAFC could take no other course butto recommend the installation ofphotoelectric smoke detectors. Tragically, the IAFCs warning wentunheeded for 26 years - until . . .

In 1997, Karl Westwell and I wererunning a franchise throughout Australiaand New Zealand called Maximum Fire& Safety. We sold thousands ofionization alarms. Everything was goingwell until customers complained theiralarms would go off when cooking yetremain silent during an actual fire. We

investigated. What we discovered wasalmost impossible to believe.

Jan 2000: Silent AlarmsSilent Alarms is an award-winning

documentary that aired across Canadain January 2000. When we watched it,we were horrified. It showed theionization alarms wed been selling foryears failing in scientific tests. We knewwe had to get everyone to see it.However, Canadian T.V. had beenthreatened with litigation and would notlet us distribute the film.

Everyone kept saying there wasnothing wrong with ionization alarms.No one believed us, especially the fireservice, which said ionization alarmspass the U.S. and Australian standardso they must be OK.

But we knew they were not OK. Themore research we did, the moreconvinced we became. Ionizationalarms go off when cooking or with anaked flame, but they remain silentduring the early, smoldering stage of afire - when you need them most.

World Fire Safety FoundationEveryone was convinced their

smoke alarms functioned as intended -after all, if there was a problem, fire

departments would have told them. Soin mid-2000, we set up the World FireSafety Foundation to help get themessage about the defects withionization alarms to the public andespecially to our fire fighters.

We did not to ask for any funding.The information against ionizationalarms was so compelling we were surewithin 18-24 months the message wouldbe out and wed be able to close down

the Foundation. Our mission statementbecame the name of our film . . .

Oct 2004: Stop The Children BurningBecause we couldnt distribute Silent

Alarms, we decided to make our owndocumentary. Stop The ChildrenBurning was released in Australia inOctober 2004. Sections of it wereincluded in a national Australian T.V.program warning about ionizationalarms.

The TV station brought in a firesafety expert, Mr David Isaac, to give ani n d u s t r y p e r s p e c t i v e o n t h eFoundations seemingly outlandishallegations. However, he concurred withus. We soon discovered he was a

3The Dual Alarm and Combination Ionization/Photoelectric Combination Myth (see page 8)

2Most Fire Departments today are unaware of the decades of misinformation about ionization

alarms and flawed Smoke Alarm Standards. However, as they become aware, a growing

number are taking a stand, e.g. the North Eastern Ohio Fire Prevention Association, the

Ohio Fire Chiefs Associationand the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service.

UTC, the worlds second largest smoke alarm manufacturer, refused to disclose the level of smoke its ionization alarms activated under CSIRO testing after numerous letters and a request in

the Parliament of New South Wales Australia by Mr Christopher Gulaptis MP.

IAFF & AFACs Official Warning About Ionization Alarms

The International Association of Fire Chiefs warned about ionization smoke alarms in 19802and urged Fire Chiefs to

recommend photoelectric smoke alarms: www.TheWFSF.org/iafc Tragically, its message was buried. Since 2006,

manufacturers and governments have failed to warn the public of the defects inherent in ionization alarms. They now

claim there are two types of fires (smoldering and flaming) so the public needs two types of smoke alarms 3.

By doing this, for legal and political reasons, they do not have to admit they failed to warn the public.

However, there are not two typesof fire - there are two stagesof a fire. Most fatal fires have a smoldering stage

before bursting into flames. Australian government (CSIRO) test data prove ionization alarms may not operate in time

for occupants to escape from the early, smoldering stage of fatal fires.

If the public are told to buy photoelectric smoke alarms because theyrebetter most people will do nothing. Why should they? Ionization alarms willoften activate when cooking toast, lulling people into a false sense of security.

Authorities have a Special Duty of Care to warn the public and fire fightersthat ionization alarms have life-threatening defects and thereby allow them tomake an informed decision so they may properly protect their families from fire.

...ionization smoke detectors, which areflame detectors and not smoke detectors...
