smoke alarms
Ceiling-mounted fire warnings
Smoke alarms are devices that detect smoke and sound a loud warning, typically installed on ceilings in homes and buildings.
They save lives by alerting occupants to fires early enough to escape.
Most run on batteries or household current: Change the batteries in your smoke alarms twice a year.
Also called smoke detectors.
