Good evening, we had a fire in a bedroom in our house last night which was only just put out with 4 extinguishers( 2kg co2, 6l foam which failed, 9l water and a 9kg powder) .
The fire started in a bedroom from a Dehumidifier, the door was closed so the maines wired smoke in the landing took a while to detect it before lots of damage happened. Opening the door to a raging fireball was rather traumatic to say the least. But we got it out, fire department would Have taken 30 mins to come as we are rural. So happy to save the house.
My question is, we have 3 mains wired smokes in the new part of our cottage, none of which are in the bedrooms. We also have little in the way of smokes in the old part of the house. Can the mains wired smokes be connected to wireless smokes in say bedrooms and in the old part of the house. Rather not rip down walls and ceilingto fit mains powered to the other rooms. We have a Texecom Premier elite alarm system in the house also, is that a better option To go with wireless smokes? Many thanks for any input.
