Since 1 January 2017 legislation has specified the type, positioning, and interconnectedness of smoke alarms for Queensland homes.

All these are critical factors for an early warning and quick escape during a house fire.

Photoelectric smoke alarms see smoke and will alert you early, so you can escape.

Interconnected alarms will alert you no matter where you are, or where the fire starts.

Additionally, alarms should also be hard-wired to the 240v power supply or powered by a non-removable 10 year battery.
