A fireman friend told me of a little girl who died because her bedroom

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.


What do you propose, rubber bullets fired round the room at random?
