I am not familiar with a fume detector. Typically, the builder installs about 5 to 7 ionization detectors, of which 1 or 2 of them is a combination carbon monoxide/ionization detector. None of them are an actual smoke detector, which uses a photoelectric device. If you want to spend more money, you can buy combination ionization and photoelectric detectors to replace the ionization only detectors.
