Download or read book Smoke Alarms in U.S. Home Fires written by Marty Ahrens and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all households in the U.S. have at least one smoke alarm, yet in 2005-2009, smoke alarms were present in less than three-quarters (72%) of all reported home fires and operated in half (51%) of the home fires. ("Homes" includes one- and two-family homes, apartments, and manufactured housing.) More than one-third (38%) of all home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms, while one-quarter (24%) resulted from fires in homes in which smoke alarms, while one-quarter (24%) resulted from fires in homes in which smoke alarms were present did not operate. The death rate per 100 reported fires was twice as high in homes without a working smoke alarm as it was in home fires with this protection. Hardwired smoke alarms are more reliable than those powered solely by batteries.

Download or read book Smoke Alarms written by Arthur Lee and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, there were an estimated 375,100 unintentional residential structure fires resulting in 2,630 deaths, 12,820 injuries and $6.22 billion in property loss. Almost all households in the U.S. have at least one smoke alarm, yet from 2000-2004, smoke alarms were not operating or were intentionally disabled in almost half (46%) of the reported home fires. Nearly all of the non-working smoke alarms were due to dead or missing batteries. Despite the almost universal presence of smoke alarms in homes, research on smoke alarms installed in homes has shown that many alarms are disabled by the occupants because of frequent nuisance alarms from cooking. As many as 20 percent of the smoke alarms installed in U.S. homes have been disabled, and that number may be higher in high risk areas, such as inner cities and rural communities. In 2008, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff initiated a study to investigate nuisance alarms from cooking. The study measured the number and rate of nuisance alarms generated by ionization, photoelectric, and dual-sensor smoke alarms during cooking activities. This information helped to determine the effect of an alarm location relative to the main cooking appliance in the kitchen and to various cooking routines, such as cooking methods, foods prepared, and mealtimes.
Book Synopsis A Review of the Sound Effectiveness of Residential Smoke Alarms by : Arthur Lee
Download or read book A Review of the Sound Effectiveness of Residential Smoke Alarms written by Arthur Lee and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) initiated a project to review the audibility effectiveness of residential smoke alarms for the older population. The scope of the project was broadened to address recent concerns that children may not wake to the sound of a smoke alarm. The CPSC staff estimates that in 1999 there were 337,300 unintentional residential structure fires resulting in 2,390 civilian deaths, 14,550 civilian injuries, and $4.24 billion in property losses. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that, during the 24-year period from 1977 to 2001, home fires and home fire deaths dropped 49% and 47% respectively, excluding events from September 11,2001. In 2001, four of every five fire deaths occurred in home structure fires, excluding 9/11, according to NFPA.
Book Synopsis A Study of Smoke Detector Technology, Usage and Effectiveness by : Robert M. Coleman
Download or read book A Study of Smoke Detector Technology, Usage and Effectiveness written by Robert M. Coleman and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As or 1994, 93% of U.S. homes had at least one smoke detector. Fifty percent of home fires occurred in homes with no smoke detector. Three-fifths of the home fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke detector. In 1/3 of the homes with detectors that had fires, the detectors were not operational. One-fifth of all homes with detectors had detectors that were not operational. The research identifies the principal reasons for non-operational smoke detectors and discusses strategies for addressing the residential fire problem in America. The research further identifies a flaw in the collection and analysis of fire loss data in the United States.

Book Synopsis Performance of Home Smoke Alarms Analysis of the Response of Several Available Technologies in Residential Fire Settings by : U.s. Department of Commerce
Download or read book Performance of Home Smoke Alarms Analysis of the Response of Several Available Technologies in Residential Fire Settings written by U.s. Department of Commerce and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of the project and provides details of the response of a range of residential smoke alarm technologies in a controlled laboratory test and in a series of real-scale tests conducted in two different residential structures. The data developed in this study include measurement of temperature and smoke obscuration in addition to gas concentrations for a range of fire scenarios and residences. The results are intended to provide both insight into siting and response characteristics of residential smoke alarms and a set of reference data for future enhancements to alarm technology based on fires from current materials and constructions.
