Smoke Detectors: Possible Massachusetts Legislature Action ?

[navane]

At first I was like, "What?? What chapter *doesn't* have a smoke detector??" Then I read again and noted that this proposes the installation of hard-wired smoke detectors, which is a little more complicated than just slapping up any $5 battery-operated one from the local hardware store.

Given that Greek houses generally tend to sleep more individuals than regular homes, I support the measure to increase fire safety in Greek housing.

I agree, it's more complicated and expensive than battery-operated detectors.

I agree with that too! It may cost a little bit more, but the added safety is a bonus/benefit. I cant think of a reason why a Facility Corporation Board wouldnt agree to it. If the money isnt there, to me this would be a great reason to start a capital campaign to make it happen.

There are also situations where the installation of something costly or complicated paid for itself in insurance savings in a few years. These costs are also things that parents may make a small donation for, as it is a safety item for their chlidren.
