1.4. Placing a smoke alarm is part of your fire protection, just as: fire extinguishers, emergency ladders, ropes, choice of materials used in

the door, e.g. by the window. If there is any question as to the cause of an alarm, it should be assumed that the cause is an actual fire
and the dwelling evacuated immediately.
