I recently received some free Smoke Detectors from a relative who works for Merseyside Fire Service. The units, known as Ionisation type, come fitted with batteries (rated at two years use) and include fixing brackets for easy mounting on to ceiling surfaces. This type of smoke detector is useful for flaming fires which produce small particles, but they aren't as sensitive when it comes to smoking fires (types where smoldering over time can occur).

We have two mounted in our house already and I've passed a couple to my friend for installation in his place. I'm confident these will provide adequate early warning if (god forbid) a situation ever arose.

If you live in the Merseyside area and wish to receive a free smoke detector check and/or advice on which types are best, contact Merseyside Fire Service here.
