Smoke detectors installed by the fire brigade are battery operated smoke detectors, imagine what could have happened if the battery was to fail. Electrifire Limited only install smoke detectors in domestic properties which are connected to the electrical supply, these included a back up battery in case of a power failure.

A SMOKE alarm saved a house from destruction after a chip pan set on fire.
A pan went up in flames at a home in Fifth Street, Horden, while a couple were upstairs watching TV, say firemen.
They had forgotten the pan was on the hob, but were alerted to the danger by a fire alarm recently fitted by firefighters.
The owner of the house even managed to put the fire out himself using a damp tea towel before a Peterlee Fire Station crew arrived at 10pm on Friday.
Crew manager Richard Morgan said: “The house has had fire alarms recently fitted by ourselves and this shows how important they are. The owner even managed to follow advice and put the fire out himself before we arrived.
“Without the alarm the fire would have been destructive and could have been very serious.”
