What is a Smoke Detector?

A smoke detector is a safety device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire. When smoke is detected, it triggers an alarm to alert occupants so they can evacuate or take action quickly.

Types of Smoke Detectors:

  • Ionization Detectors: Best for detecting fast-burning fires.

  • Photoelectric Detectors: Better for detecting slow, smoldering fires.

  • Dual-Sensor Detectors: Combine both types for broader protection.
