This is indeed true. May I add that if you are considering upgrading your smoke alarms I recommend installing the newer photoelectric or dual photoelectric/ionization detectors and not the cheaper ionization only detectors that are quite common.
Something of course is better then nothing, but if you are buying new the photoelectric ones have been proven to save more lives.
