Any off the shelf product should be fine (there are standards they have to meet). Kiddie and First Alert are both well regarded brands.
I use First Alert personally (they have model with Z-Wave integration that ties into my home automation system). We carry a few Kiddie smoke/CO detectors on the fire truck to install if we notice a home doesn't have one (or if the one they had failed).
- WWLink 10y agoIn regards to the smoke detectors, I love that your department does that! I think what finally drove me to realize how important working smoke detectors are, is that video of a modern room flashing over in like 3 minutes. For those who haven't seen it, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDNPhq5ggoE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDNPhq5ggoE
