I watch GMTV every morning, all this week they have had a focus on house fires.
You don't realise how dangerous house fires can be it only takes a matter of a minute to be overcome by the effects of the smoke.
But by having a smoke alarm fitted it can give you vital seconds, to get you and your family out of the house.
After seeing the program, I went out and purchased a smoke alarm straight away.

I purchased a Fire Sentry smoke alarm from Argos; it contains 2 smoke alarms so you can place one upstairs and one downstairs.
These alarms have a very loud 80-decibel alarm, a low battery indicator; this is a very important feature.
It also has a test button so you can make sure your alarm is operating correctly.
This alarm was also supplied with all the fittings and batteries, and even a 5-year manufacturers guarantee.

I paid £6.99 for 2 smoke detectors, what's worth more £6.99 or your life?
