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.
I don't see how it can be told any other way...............enought said!
