Lead in foreign cigarette smoke alarm

A friend recently told me of his an embarrassed matter, because of a misunderstanding caused by neglect the smoke alarm.

Specific process is such. Last year my visit to New Zealand, was admitted to a rural hotel. The hotel owner told him that he must pay attention to fire safety, smoke alarms are provided with the room, a little attention will cause a fire alarm. A friend was agreed to remember in mind, he is a heavy smoker, to the evening smokers intolerable, wanted to smoke a relief. The heavy rain outside, inside the smoke words but worry boss before warning. He looked at the ceiling of the smoke alarm, hesitated, and finally he comfort: "should not be so sensitive, smoke and tobacco". Later, smoking or over mind, he lit his cigarette, haven´t finished yet, the alarm bells go off. He hurried to find the boss explanation did not fire, but already late, the other passengers have dial 111. Final friend told local often criticism education only after the accident.

The New Zealand Building wooden structures, coupled with the local vegetation, so the New Zealand people especially afraid of fire, every household installed with high sensitivity, the smoke alarm sounds great, so there are friends embarrassed things happen.

In New Zealand, our country in this respect is still lacking, a civic awareness of the fire is not in place, on the other hand, household smoke alarm is not very popular. The fire warning work, we still have a long way to go.
