As the name implies, the purpose of a smoke detector or smoke alarm is to alert sleeping occupants in a home in the event of a fire. New laws in Queensland mandate the installation of interconnecting photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and on each level of multi-storey properties by 2027. These laws aim to enhance safety measures in every home across Queensland, ensuring compliance and effective fire detection capabilities.
Photoelectric smoke alarms represent a significant advancement from traditional smoke detectors. These high-tech devices are designed to detect a wide range of fires, with particular sensitivity to smouldering fires and dense smoke, which are common in household settings. Additionally, the requirement for interconnected smoke alarms enhances safety by ensuring that when one alarm is triggered, all interconnected alarms sound simultaneously. This feature maximises occupants’ chances of safely evacuating a home in the event of a fire.
