VillagesPL, it would be more understandable if you wanted to compare lives saved from smoke/fire alarms with lives saved by the use of seat belts wouldn't it? Heart attacks are a stretch for that comparision.
Our house was hit by lightning last summer, the dectector went off. As it was 8 PM or so we were awake, BUT unaware of the smoke pouring from our attic over the garage. When w e heard it we knew something was wrong, exited the house, called fire department.
What is the sense of not having a detector? They don't cost very much. It's America, you can do what you want, so go ahead don't have a detector, eat all the rich artery clogging food you want and don't wear a seat belt either. Good luck to you.
