September, 1980
The International Association of Fire Chief’s (IAFC)
‘Residential Smoke Alarm Report’:
“Therefore, because of the present state-of-the art in detecting smoke, the
Subcommittee on Smoke Detection can take no other course but to recommend
the installation of photoelectric detectors. . .
What about the use of a combination photoelectric/ionization detector? . . .
What is to be gained from adding an ionization element to a photoelectric element?
In the subcommittees opinion, nothing.”
‘Why America Is Burning’
The history of how the truth about “deadly” ionization smoke alarms has been kept from fire officials and the global public for over three decades resulting in tens of thousands of needless deaths around the world.
