Spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to inspect and update your smoke alarms—it’s about more than just wiping off the dust.
Smoke alarm technology has seen remarkable progress over the years, transforming into the essential life-saving tools we depend on today. The journey began with heat detectors, which responded to rising temperatures. In 1902, George Andrew Darby revolutionized fire safety with the first heat and smoke detector. Decades later, in the 1930s, Swiss physicist Walter Jaeger made a breakthrough in ionization-based smoke detection while experimenting with poison gas sensors.
Modern smoke alarms often incorporate both ionization and photoelectric technologies, ensuring comprehensive detection for a variety of fire types.
