Bogie, thank you for your response to this thread.
For my two cents I can not understand why anyone would not consider having working smoke detectors. I could search the internet and no doubt come up with countless stories where people lost their lives due to not having working smoke detectors. I spent 21yrs as a career firefighter and 15yrs as a volunteer firefighter. While I do not remember all the fires that I have responded to over that time I can tell you about the two fatalities that I have experienced firsthand. Neither home had working smoke detectors and both occurred during the late night hours.
