Free Smoke Alarms (again) but are you deaf?

Kavanne

they are battery operated ones, fireangel I think? Says the battery will go for 10 years without change i think

Question.. It wants me to screw it onto the ceiling but I do not fancy putting a screw through my ceiling, can I use those double sided sticky fixers to put it up?

i think you could... never tried though.

I know fire brigade stick on smoke alarms on the ceiling and they are similar weight. They are quite thick double sides stickers though not the ones I see in shops there about 5mm thick

Hmm I have one from an adhesive wall hook that says it will support up to 1kg but I am not sure if that means for constant weight....

Hi all,

just a quick one to remind you all that most of the countries fire services are offering a free home fire safety visit, free smoke detectors, and more importantly for anyone that is Deaf or Hard of Hearing .... special smoke detectors that have vibrating pads for under your pillow and flashing lights too.

These can be very expensive to purchase and i would urge anyone who is or has a friend or relative who has hearing issues to contact their local Fire Service (not by 999 lol)and request a visit and a detector.

As a firefighter i have fitted some of these and they are great pieces of kit ... so get one for free today!.

are these all over the country then?cos i have 3 elderly neighbours who have poor earring and i would think would benefit greatly from one of these:money:

Use glue (no more nails type) and a special pole to hold in position until 'fixed'. Preferred fixing method is to screw into position. If can't use these methods then 'velcro stick on tape' does the job! eg
