Ionisation sensing alarms may detect invisible fire particles (associated with fast flaming fires) 

sooner than photoelectric alarms. Photoelectric sensing alarms may detect visible fire particles 

(associated with slow smouldering fires) sooner than ionisation alarms. Home fires develop 

in different ways and are often unpredictable. For maximum protection, 

Garland OnGard

 

recommends that both Ionisation and Photoelectric alarms be installed.
