Fire won't happen to me... A lot of people think that. Yet the fire brigade receives thousands of reports of fire in a home every year. Sometimes there is only material damage, but too often there are also deaths and injuries.<\/p>\n

From July 1, 2022, it is mandatory for every home to have a smoke detector on every floor, including in your home. This applies to both new construction and existing construction. The fire brigade also recommends products such as carbon monoxide detectors, fire blankets, first aid kits and spray fire extinguishers. Installing a smoke detector is now very easy.<\/p>\n

For example, some people use double-sided tape. While you're at it, put in a battery with a 10-year lifespan. In this article we provide several tips on using smoke detectors and useful facts about these devices.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Where should smoke detectors be located?<\/b><\/p>\n

It is mandatory to have at least 1 smoke detector on each floor. But for extra safety, the general advice is to provide not only the sleeping areas, but also the escape routes with a smoke detector. This way you can respond quickly and adequately in the event of fire.<\/p>\n

Hang the smoke detector on the ceiling (smoke rises) but at least 50 cm away from the wall or corner.<\/p>\n

In any case, install smoke detectors in the hall and landing. This is usually the escape route if a fire breaks out. It is even better to install detectors in all bedrooms and living rooms and rooms where a fire could possibly occur.<\/p>\n

Do you want maximum security,\u00a0hang CO2 detectors in all rooms where there is a combustion appliance such as a boiler, fireplace and the like.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
