SMOKE ALARMS ARE DEVICES THAT CAN PROVIDE EARLY WARN- ING OF POSSIBLE FIRES AT A REASONABLE COST; HOWEVER, ALARMS HAVE SENSING LIMITATIONS. IONIZATION SENSING ALARMS MAY DETECT INVISIBLE FIRE PARTICLES (ASSOCIATED WITH FAST FLAMING FIRES) SOONER THAN PHOTOELECTRIC ALARMS. PHOTOELECTRIC SENSING ALARMS MAY DETECT VISIBLE FIRE PARTICLES (ASSOCIATED WITH SLOW SMOLDERING FIRES) SOONER THAN IONIZATION ALARMS. HOME FIRES DEVELOP IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND ARE OFTEN UNPREDICTABLE. FOR MAXI- MUM PROTECTION, KIDDE RECOMMENDS THAT BOTH IONIZATION AND PHOTOELECTRIC ALARMS BE INSTALLED.
