Smoke detector tests influence home safety buying choices
The Cedar Rapids Fire Prevention Bureau tested five detector brands in a vacant two story house to compare ionization and photoelectric models. Results show multiple detectors aid early warning despite arches and doorways. Fire officials caution about single detectors and note stairway placement improves upstairs alerts. Donations from Crescent Electric and others funded the tests.
