Preventing a fire in the home or business is as simple as having smoke detectors that emit some type of signal and alert immediately, before the situation can get out of control.

There are ionic smoke detectors and optical detectors, the former detect very small particles and even gases that are not visible in many cases. For its part, the optical smoke detector requires a photosensitive receiver and an LED light emitter for its operation. Both will detect the presence of smoke in the air and give an audible signal to warn of impending danger.

When detecting the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide, smoke detectors will emit signals, either auditory or visual. Most people prefer auditory cues, because although they can cause panic, they are the most effective when it comes to acting more quickly.

Smoke detectors are typically installed on the roofs of homes, offices, warehouses, or bedrooms, preferably away from vents or windows.

In the home, the main place where a smoke detector should be installed is in the kitchen, since it is the most prone to fire because the stove is there. However, it is recommended to have one in each area of ​​the house.

In companies it is absolutely necessary to have smoke detectors in the warehouse because that is where the largest number of material that can be flammable is concentrated.

The advantage of smoke detectors is that they warn, but if you or your company’s emergency team detect that there is no danger, you can reset the device, but if it is a situation that requires attention, it will remain on until it is I solved the problem.
