If there is a fire in your house you need to know about it. you need one because if there is a fire you need to evacuate the premises immediately.

It will tell you to wake up and head for protection from the fire if youre asleep at night. It will also inform the fire department that a fire is present in your home. It should help keep you from getting burnt in a fire.

My home needs smoke detectors for many reasons. For example, if your an unexperienced cook like me, its likely that you will burn something. It might burst into flames and burn the house down. When learning to cook, you must have a smoke decotor. It could save your life.

A home should have a smoke alarm because it detects smoke when you are sleeping, and if you are in another room and something catches fire, it will let you know that a fire is active. A smoke alarm will keep your family safe.

You should hVE A SMOKE alarm because you might be asleep and a fire might happen. Another reason to get a smoke alarm is so that you leave the house and a neighbor hears a smoke alarm they can go into your apartment or call the fire departmeny

You need a smoke detector because you never know when fire might start. It could be during the day or at night. A smoke alarm would alert you to get out of the house as soon as possible. Some smoke alarms contain detectors for carbon dioxide.
