Re: Fire safety

Smoke alarms should not and do not have rechargable batteries in them for exactly the reason that retlaw states, they are unreliable. I urge everyone to bin dodgy smoke alarms and get free fitted ones from your fire service. As for the light fitting type I wouldn't touch them with a barge poll.

Also if you are hard of hearing or know anyone who is, Lancs Fire & rescue will arrange for special detectors to be fitted free for you, they have flashing lights on and also a vibrating pad under your pillow which will shake you if the alarm goes off
