The General Directorate of Civil Defense stressed the importance of the availability of safety tools, and their role in protecting people and preserving property, including a smoke detector, in order to avoid loss of life and expedite evacuation operations.
The importance of the smoke detector lies in alerting the presence of a fire in the building at an early time, facilitating the detection of the location of the smoke, helping to speed up the fight against the fire, and issuing loud sounds that awaken the sleeper.
