New Law on smoke detectors
MOST IMPORTANT !!!
ALL households are required to be fitted with smoke detectors by 8 March 2015.
Property owners and occupants are responsible for the installation and/or the maintenance of the detectors (DAAF : Détecteur Avertisseur de Fumée) by that date.
It should significantly reduce the unnecessary loss of life, prevent injuries and minimize damage by alerting you to a fire as early as possible.
