John Brooks, Commissioner, C.F.D.
Launching ‘Operation Save A Life’ 2009
Is the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) aware that
Underwriter’s Laboratories, have been accused of
‘Scientific Misconduct’ (fraudulent scientific testing)
regarding their ‘UL Listed’ smoke alarms?
How many of the thousands of smoke detectors
donated by Kidde over the past six years are ionization?
Is the Chicago Fire Department and ABC7
aware that Kidde AND BRK are two of the four
manufacturers named in the
Proposed Ionization Smoke Alarm Class Action Law Suit?
Does the CFD know Kidde succeeded at stopping
legislation mandating photoelectric smoke alarms
in Tennessee after a declaration on Tennessee TV
that manufacturers were “more interested in making
money than saving lives”? (see ‘Smoke Alarm Recall’)

Summary
Would it make sense for the Chicago Fire Department and the City of Chicago to:
-investigate all fire deaths and injuries over the past ten years?
-instead of helping promote Kidde’s ionization smoke alarms, request Kidde to immediately replace all these ionization smoke alarms given away under their ‘Operation Save-A-Life’ marketing scheme with safe and effective photoelectric smoke alarms? and
-ask Kidde why they have failed to respond to the World Fire Safety Foundation’s ‘Smoke Alarm Disclosure Letter’’?

promoting Kidde’s “deadly smoke detectors”
NOTE:
It is not the City of Chicago or the Chicago Fire Departments fault that they have been promoting ionization
smoke alarms when they are unaware of their inherent defects.
However, given the overwhelming scientific evidence against ionization alarms, does the Chicago Fire
Department has a Special Duty of Care to stop promoting them, to warn their Chicagoans of their known and
deadly limitations, and advise them of the safe, available and affordable alternatives?
Commissioner John Brooks, Chicago Fire Department
“Education and fire safety awareness is extremely important to the Chicago Fire Department.
It is our duty and our responsibility as a department to save lives and to help with prevention.”
Commissioner Brooks
