Fire Safety Lessons and Smoke Detectors
A firefighter holds up a household smoke detector beside an emergency equipment bag to explain residential fire prevention. Teaching community members about alarm testing forms a major part of everyday fire department work.
How Smoke Alarms Detect Smoke
Most residential smoke detectors use tiny sensors that detect invisible particles produced by burning objects. When smoke enters the sensor chamber, it disrupts an internal sensor beam and triggers a loud warning alarm.
