It is important to install a smoke detector on every floor of your residence. It is also a good idea to place a detector in every bedroom.

Smoke and deadly gases tend to spread faster and farther than heat which is why an operating smoke detector is so important to have. More people die from the effects of smoke and deadly gases by a margin of 2 to 1. A smoke detector will automatically sound a warning when they sense smoke or other products of combustion. When people are warned early enough about a fire, they can escape before it spreads.

All homes should have a smoke detector in or near sleeping areas. Smoke detectors can be wired into the existing electrical system (with a battery backup) or battery operated. Smoke detectors have a life expectancy of 10 years. So change the batteries at least once per year, and replace the smoke detector after 10 years or when the detector fails to work and/or test properly. If you need assistance with the installation of a battery operated smoke detector, call the Odessa Fire Department.

The difference between smoke and heat detectors is obvious by the name. Smoke detectors are more sensitive to sensing smoke; heat detectors are more sensitive to changes in temperature. They both detect fire typical parameters, however they are not interchangeable. A smoke detector warns of fire when it senses the products of combustion (soot) in the atmosphere.
