· 10 Year Life Smoke Detectors - We had conducted a program to place these smoke alarms in the homes of Seniors last year and in the past sold them through School Programs. The smoke detectors are not lasting the 10 years as advertised. There were approximately 1168 of these smoke detectors placed in the homes of seniors last year. There have been a number of complaints already that the detectors are not lasting. This is going to be an ongoing problem for the next 10 years. Keep track of any complaints that your department receives. Peter O'Hare would like to keep track of the number of faulty detectors we receive complaints on. The Risk Watch Coalition has put a promotion into the local schools promoting the 10 year Life smoke detector. Deputy Chief Harry Jones has notified the Coalition that the fire service will not support the 10 year life detector.
