FIRST ALERT SCO5CN Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector | Battery Operated FIRST ALERT SA320FF Dual-Sensor Smoke and Fire Alarm | Battery Powered, Frustration-Free

From the manufacturer, it is recommended to place smoke alarms at least 10 feet from the kitchen/stove and on the ceiling or high on a wall, no more than 10 inches from the top. Carbon monoxide alarms, on the other hand, can be placed anywhere, not just the ceiling or high on a wall, and should be replaced every 5 to 7 years.

Fire extinguishers should be kept in the kitchen and garage, and it is important to ensure that the right grade is selected for the type of fire that might occur.

Regarding escape ladders, it is advised to have at least one if your home has more than one story. Each room needs 2 escape routes, and in most bedrooms, the window is typically the secondary route, so a ladder should be kept nearby.

This battery-operated smoke and carbon monoxide alarm can help keep your family safe. It features an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensing technology as well as a photoelectric sensor that detects the larger particles of a smoldering fire. The alarm provides continuous monitoring of CO levels, even in the event of a power failure.

Additionally, this battery-operated smoke alarm is equipped with both a photoelectric and ionization sensor, allowing it to quickly detect both fast-burning and smoldering fires. It requires no rewiring for installation and provides continuous monitoring, even if there's a power failure.

By prioritizing the placement of smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguishers, and escape ladders, you can help ensure the safety of your family in the event of a fire or carbon monoxide emergency. The battery-operated alarms featured offer reliable and continuous monitoring, even during power outages, providing an extra layer of protection for your home.
