Greetings from Australia.
Australian Government (CSIRO) scientific test data proves ionization smoke alarms have life-threatening defects.
Hard to believe? Click the link below and see 60 Minutes exposé, 'The Alarming Truth' for yourself.
You'll see 60 Minutes' testing with fire fighters, meet David Isaac, Australia's leading fire safety expert, and discover the alarming truth about ionization smoke alarms (whether battery or hard-wired), the most common type of smoke alarm found in most homes.
After you discover the truth, please help us spread the word.
Thank you.

be allowed . . . My personal view is ionization alarms should

Building Codes Board takes it head out of the sand and mandates interconnected
photoelectric smoke alarms across Australia before the next family fire takes its next family."
