Roughly two-thirds of home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
🔥When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. Working smoke alarms give you an early warning so you can get outside quickly.
🛌Install smoke alarms in every bedroom. They should also be outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement.
🔊Use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound.
📆Test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.
🦻People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights and bed shakers.
🎊Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
‼It can't be repeated enough - working smoke alarms save lives. ‼

Can the domestic smoke alarm legislation be enforced?
Yes. The regulatory authority of the domestic smoke alarm legislation in Queensland is the Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), under the Fire and Emergency Services Act 1990 and the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008.

However, the domestic smoke alarm legislation was introduced to provide early occupant warning to all occupants of a dwelling in the event of a fire. This early warning combined with a practised fire escape plan ensures all occupants can safely exit.
