4. Alarm Limitations

Limitations of Smoke Alarms

While Smoke Alarms are extremely

effective, independent authorities have

stated that they may be ineffective in

some circumstances. There are a number

of reasons for this:

• Smoke Alarms will not work if the

batteries are depleted or if they are

not connected. Replace the batteries if

necessary. Also check the replace by date

on the side of the Alarm.

• Smoke Alarms will not detect fire if

sufficient smoke does not reach the Alarm.

Smoke may be prevented from reaching

the Alarm if the fire is too far away, for

example, if the fire is on another floor,

behind a closed door, in a chimney,

in a wall cavity, or if the prevailing air

draughts carry the smoke or heat away.

Installing Smoke Alarms on both sides

of closed doors and installing more than

one Alarm as recommended in this leaflet

very significantly improve the probability of

early detection.

• The Smoke Alarms may not be heard.

• A Smoke Alarm may not wake a person

who has taken drugs or alcohol.

• The Alarms may not detect every type

of fire to give sufficient early warning.

They are particularly ineffective with: fires

caused by smoking in bed, escaping

gas, violent explosions, poor storage

of flammable rags and/or liquids, (for

example

petrol,

overloaded electrical circuits, arson,

children playing with matches.

• Current studies have shown smoke

alarms may not awaken all sleeping

individuals, and that it is the responsibility

paint,

spirits

of individuals in the household that are

capable of assisting others to provide

assistance to those who may not be

awakened by the alarm sound, or to

those who may be incapable of safely

evacuating the area unassisted

Limitations of Heat Alarms

There are various situations where a Heat

Alarm may not be effective:

• Fires where the victim is intimate with a

flaming initiated fire; for example, when a

person's clothes catch fire while cooking.

• Fires where the heat is prevented from

reaching the Heat Alarm due to a closed

door or other obstruction.

• Incendiary fires where the fire grows

so rapidly that an occupant's egress is

blocked even with properly located Heat

Alarms
