Fatal Fire and Smoke Detectors

Woman Killed In Far East Side Fire Identified

From the article:
According to [CFD Battalion Chief] Martin, the fire started when Kelsor [the deceased] apparently began cooking food and fell asleep. There were no working fire detectors in the home.

Personally, I hate smoke detectors.  The one in my kitchen goes off when it shouldn't, and it's a guarantee that your smoke detector will go off at 3:00 AM when its batteries are low.  All that said, if this homeowner had kept working smoke detectors in her home, her family wouldn't be stricken by grief and planning a funeral.

Our homes are literally connected, so please, make sure you have working smoke detectors in your home.

Or not, as the case may be. Several buildings have had new drain pipes installed. It's easy to see which units, judging from the picture...
