Residential fire safety equipment refers to standalone smoke detectors and fire extinguishers installed in single-family homes and apartment buildings.


Standalone smoke detectors detect smoke in the event of a fire and alert occupants, while fire extinguishers are installed to suppress fires in their early stages.


The fire department advised, "A standalone smoke detector should be installed in each compartmented room, and at least one fire extinguisher should be available per household and per floor."



They also explained, "The battery life of standalone smoke detectors and the usage period of fire extinguishers are 10 years, and they should be replaced accordingly. Fire extinguishers must also be replaced if the needle on the pressure gauge moves out of the green zone."
