Smoke detectors save lives, period. You should have a smoke detector on each floor and a smoke detectors near sleeping areas at minimum. If your smoke detectors are battery powered, check the batteries once a month and change them once a year. If your smoke alarm is nearing 7 years old or more, it's too old to be reliable and you should replace it with a new smoke alarm.

Smoke alarms use two main technologies. Ionization and Photoelectric. Ionization smoke detectors are best at detecting fast flaming fires. Photoelectric smoke alarms ares best at detecting smoky, smoldering fires.
