Five days ago I awoke to the tragic news of a house fire that took the life of a three year old girl. Three days later her twenty two year old mother with critical injuries passed away. There was also a five year old boy and his twenty four year old mother who managed to escape from the 2nd floor with injuries with the help of neighbors. 

Fire investigators determined the fire started from a lithium-ion battery from a E-scooter. This was at 3:30 AM.

THERE WERE NO WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS!

Check your smoke detectors. If you do not have any get with your local fire department.  

Check with your fire department what the guidelines are for these lithium batteries. 

Pass this alert on.

Save lives!

erm, smoke detector saved my life, it was going off and woke me up, i tried to go back to sleep but within the minute i realized something wasnt right, a plkastic garbage can had caught fire prolly cuz of my idiocy but honestly dont knopw what happened, the alarm woke me up but trying to go back to sleep i realized i was breathing chemicals and smoke and eventually popped up and put a stop to it.

I hate the smoke detectors in my home there at least three that I know of but the main one they check on the Friday morning and after working nights it scares the hell out of me when I just dropped off

yea, smoke detecters saved my ass once, i think i dumped an ashtray into the garbage and something was stilkl lit. i went toi sleep and i woke up to the smoke detector and my trashcan was on fire, house was thick chemical smoke from burning plastic, no smoke detecter id probably wound up dead.,

Being in the Security and Fire Alarm business stuff like this is vitally important for everyones safety and it will save you a great deal on insurance if you inform your insurance company that it is monitored.
