Field Investigation of Residential Smoke Detectors
A test program was undertaken to evaluate the effect of sensitivity and placement of residential smoke detectors on their response to fires in homes. The tests were conducted in two homes scheduled for demolition and used actual furnishings in typical configurations. In addition to the detector response times, the homes were highly instrumented with data on smoke, temperature, and gas concentration measured for all tests. The tests showed that smoke detectors can be highly effective in providing adequate warning of a fire before conditions in the home become dangerous.
