Plea For Smoke Detectors
There was a reported fire tragedy in Stanley Road, UK, wherein a man died not only of the fire but also of carbon monoxide poisoning. The cause of the blaze was a kettle on a gas hob that was still switched on with the gas issuing.
The man did not have smoke detectors in his place. It was only because a friend who came by smelled gas and could not get an answer from him that the alarm was raised.
The brother of the victim is now appealing to the people to install smoke detectors and smoke alarms to prevent similar deaths. It’s not that expensive, definitely a lot less expensive than a life. Smoke detectors and smoke alarms can help in saving lives from fire tragedies.
Include carbon monoxide detectors with smoke detectors. Carbon monoxide are deadly killers that cannot be seen and cannot be smelled, unlike smoke and fire.
