Many jurisdictions across the country require commerical and residential properties to have at least one working smoke detector. It seems like every day there is another story in the news about how someone almost "didn't make it out" or how someone died because their house was on fire AND they didn't have working smoke detectors. Seriously people. This isn't rocket science. Why would you NOT have a working smoke detector? They cost less than 10 bucks AND some jurisdictions (i know mine does) give them away for FREE. It is a simple and easy way to increase your chances of survival.
If a child - or anyone - dies in a house fire and there were no working smoke detectors can the owner or guardian be charged with a crime? Reckless Endangerment? Involuntary Manslaughter? I wonder....
