Faulty smoke alarms put one in five homes at risk TORONTO - Close to two mil- lion Canadian homes could go up in smoke at any time without warn- ing the people inside, according to a random survey of several Canadi- an Fire Chiefs undertaken by First Alert. The problem: smoke alarms with either dead batteries or no bat- teries at all inside. "We see this all the time - often after a tragedy has occurred," said Chief Gary Greene, Dartmouth Fire Department. "The number of inju- ries, deaths and Toss of property that are the result of non- functioning smoke alarms is a prob- lem that is completely preventa- ble." Of the 10,387,000 households in Canada, an estimated 94 per cent have a smoke alarm. The vast ma- jority of these alarms are battery- operated. Therefore, approximately 1.9 million homes (one out of five) may be at risk due to neglected or removed batteries. All too often, say fire chiefs, fire departments have responded to emergency calls, only to discover that smoke alarms have not had their batteries replaced; or that bat- teries were removed for use in an- other appliance; or the alarms were not properly installed. One of the reasons many people do not maintain their smoke alarms is that they have misconceptions about the realities of a fire. Many believe that in the event of a fire, the smell of smoke will awaken them from sleep. Or, they assume that they'll have plenty of time to escape. Or, most commonly, that a fire simply won't happen in their home. "The biggest obstacle fire depart- ments face is the public's apathy." says Chief Grant Nicurity, Public Education Officer, Regina Fire De- partment. "Too many people go to bed at night and think 'it can never happen to me.' Yet fires do not dis- criminate - regardless of whether a household has an annual income of $12,000 or $12,000,000, a fire can still break out. And if you don't have a working smoke alarm then you have no warning." The facts of a fire are as follows: 1. There is virtually no time to es- cape. During a fire there is very lit- tle time to get out because of the fire's ability to spread quickly. A fire in a waste basket, for example. can spread to consume an entire house in two minutes. 2. A fire is black. Unlike the fires we see in movies and television dramas, the smoke from a fire makes it almost impossible to see anything, including the way out. 3. The smell of smoke will not wake you up. In fact, carbon mon- oxide and other toxic gases in smoke will put you into a deeper sleep. Firefighters report that most people who die in house fires are found in their beds - killed by dead- ly smoke that never woke them up. 4. The heat from a fire is ex- tremely intense. During a fire, tem- peratures can climb as high as 700°c and can kill a person instant- ly. Sometimes a fire becomes so hot that an entire structure will im- plode. These harsh realities demonstrate the importance of having at least one smoke alarm in every resi- dence, and of ensuring that all resi- dential smoke alarms are function- ing properly. First Alen and Canada's Fire Chiefs urge all Cana- dians to follow this rule: when the clocks are changed each October and April, check and replace your smoke alarm batteries.
