I'm not sure why the majority of domestic properties would require
interlinking. If any of my alarms sound they can be easy heard in any
room in the house.



A fireman friend told me of a little girl who died because her bedroom
door was well-fitted, a fire started in her room but the smoke did not
trip the detector outside in the hall.

This is why I put units in every habitable room and interlinked them.
No one is sleeping through that!


Why does that require interlinking? (It does require one in her room)

Because if there's a fire from the TV upstairs, I damn well want to know
about it before the whole house is on fire!
