This video is one of two from the New Zealand Fire Service's YouTube channel selected as offering the most relevant advice for UK users. The other is entitled, 'What smoke alarm is best', and explains the various types you might consider.
There are a few things worth considering beyond the information presented in the above video.
- Is is now possible to buy special sticky pads that can be used to stick rather than screw some smoke alarms to walls or ceilings
- If using screw fixings, make sure the drill holes and screws will not interfere with existing wiring or plumbing.
- Whilst is is important to position alarms where they will catch rising smoke, they also need to be accessible to test on a regular basis and so that the batteries can be changed when needed.
