Anyone know of any Links where there is information regarding


how safe an Ionization type of Smoke Detector is in a youngster's room.




I would not put one in the kids room. How about the hallway right


outside the kids room?

I kill-file all messages posted through Google Groups.




A guy I know lives alone, and when he had minor work done that required a


building permit, he was required to install FOUR smoke detectors within


about 10 feet of each other - one in each bedroom, by its door, and one in


the hallway.




The chirping when the batteries all went low at the same time drove him


nuts, so now he has one smoke detector in the hall and three spares.






Thereby bypassing the safety codes that are imposed to

protect us and our children.

The children! Won't someone please think of the children?!!!
I'd say when you have codes that go nuts and require crazy numbers
of smoke detectors, you'd have to be an imbecile not to realize that
it's going to lead to non-compliance. If the guy lives alone, who's
children exactly is he supposed to protect?
