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)


Little kids may not wake to the sound of an alarm, however loud.



Or may already be overcome with fumes if it's a fast fire.
