I just watched a report on the Today show about smoke alarms. They videotaped 4 children sleeping and watched to see if they awoke during a middle of the night drill. Only one of the 4 actually woke up but that was after 2 minutes of the alarm going off. The others were still asleep after 20 minutes of the alarm beeping. They sell interconnected alarms that will sound all the alarms in the house if there is smoke/fire in another. That way the smoke doesn't have to be near the alarm an allows more time to get out. For all of us that have kids...better think really hard about this one. It was eye opening because my two sleep like logs. We just had a family here lose 6 people in a house fire... under the age of 8. Please...check into this.
