Alarm limitations
Limitations of smoke alarms
Smoke alarms have significantly helped to reduce the number of fire fatalities in countries
where they are widely installed. However independent authorities have stated that they
may be ineffective in some circumstances. There are a number of reasons for this:

Smoke alarms will not work if the batteries are depleted or if they are not connected.
Test regularly and replace the entire smoke alarm when it fails to operate.
