Nowadays, having at least one working smoke alarm at home is the minimum prerequisite. Yet, many lose their life each year due to household fires. Indeed, we have less than 3 minutes to safely evacuate a burning house which is why it shouldn’t be a necessity to insist upon the importance of a smoke detector.
