A massive recall has been issued for nearly 200,000 smoke detector because the devices aren’t emitting an alert sound to notify people of detected smoke.
The Firefighters Association of the State of New York is reacting to the quick drop in temperatures that they say is a “swift end to ‘Hotumn’” by issuing a safety statement.
Fire officials are crediting working smoke detectors for alerting the residents of an Apalachin home to fire, allowing them and their pets to make it out safely.
