There are battery operated smoke detectors available. I believe First Makes
them as ell as some other brands. Check your hardware stores.

Hello:

Have a question regarding smoke detectors for a residence.

Will be moving into a house that has the master bedroom quite some
distance,
and on a separate level, from the kids bedrooms, and the basement lower
levels.

Want to put in several new smoke detectors, but doubt that would ever be
able
to hear the whistle if it goes off due to the distances involved.

Are there such things out now such as wireless transmitter smoke
detectors,
or
anything similar in the way of a solution to this ?

Are they any good ?

Guess if it works on house wiring, the assumption is they would sound a
warning
before the wiring goes out: good assumption ?

What do most people do for this type of a situation ?

Thanks,
Bob
