been told the truth

The percentage of people dying when
the [ionization] smoke detector works,

“using better smoke alarms will drastically reduce
the loss of life among citizens and fire fighters.”

“Roger, how many FireFighters do you think have
been killed or injured because  the truth about
ionization alarms has been kept from them for so long?


Johnson:

“Countless!”

. . . the International Association of Fire Fighters passed a
resolution condemning ionization-only detectors because

of their failure to sound an alert until residents have

already been incapacitated by smoke and carbon monoxide.
