Brigade introduces smoke alarms for deaf


The special alarm consists of a normal smoke alarm with a radio transmitter that transmits to a portable receiver that is designed so it can be carried around from room to room.

At night it goes on to a mounting pad next to the bed and plugged into that is a vibrating pad which goes under the pillow.

Dorset Fire and Rescue Service has been extremely approachable and easy-going and this has now given both my mum and myself peace of mind - you never know when a fire might happen.

For more information on smoke alarms for people who are deaf or hard of hearing contact Phil Burridge on 01202 844657. read more
