Hi Friends,Relatives and Trusted Clients:
Something very important to us all has crossed my desk and I feel you need to be aware,
We had a speaker, Marc McGinn, City of Albany Fire Department, at our monthly dinner meeting of the Golden Gate Chapter of the American Society of Home Inspectors. Albany just passed an ordinace requiring a photoelectric type of Smoke Detector/Alarm and removing all Ionization type detector/alarms. Ionization type appear to be in most homes in the Country and fail at an alarming rate. CHECK OUT THE LINKS. If the link does not work, try cut and paste to your browser line.
If your detectors are the Ionization type they will have warning for a small amount of radioactive material printed somewhere. These are junk. Immediately buy and install the photoelectric type, Costco 2 for $25. If you can’t determine which type you have replace them anyway. If you have none or just one, shame on you get more and pass this on!

The Picture is the Older Kind–Not the Photoelectric One.
