Did you know that you don't have to be hard of hearing to NOT hear your smoke alarm go off in the middle of the night? Education Director Cameron Barrett discusses smoke alarms with Nancy Trench, the Assistant Director of Fire Protection Publications at Oklahoma State University. Trench is a smoke alarm expert and speaks about the latest research into smoke alarm awareness and usage. Who's most likely to die in a fire because smoke alarms were not present or were disabled? Do children wake to an alarm with a warning beep or an adult's voice? If you have mobility issues, is it time to retrofit your home with sprinklers? These questions and more get answered in this fire and life safety podcast.
