Friend recently had a fire in their house, quite severe damage.
Caused by downlights (nothing new).
Fireman suggested they install a hard wired fire alarm up in the ceiling as an extra precaution in the future...........He said if everyone did it more people would be alive today cause fires in the ceiling are rarely noticed until its too late and the ceiling collapses before people have the chance to exit the premises.
Friends were lucky their fire happened at lunch time when someone was home and awake.
Food for thought..surprised its not promoted more actually cause it makes good sense to me especially with so many electrical cables often running through ceilings.
Cheers...........
