However thinking of some old dear on a state pension or someone on

In practical terms, the law will require private homes to;
have at least one smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used
have at least one smoke alarm in spaces such as hallways and landings
have at least one heat alarm in every kitchen
have a carbon monoxide detector

In addition, there will be a 10-year age limit for alarms and all alarms
will have to be ceiling-mounted, and should be interlinked.".........

Around here the fire service will fit free smoke alarms for vulnerable
people. Even special ones for the deaf and ones where the battery is in
a box on the wall so you can change it without steps.
