This people have totally no basic knowledge about fire and safety.

Pour in hundred thousand into renovation, but neglect the safety.

Kill by smoke. Fire extinguisher can't help.

They probably can survive if have the smoke detector. Cause when a person in sleep, hearing is more sensitive than others sense in your body.

And some basic knowledge of fire escape.

Talking about smoke detector, do you came across any smoke detector that able to send alarm notification to handphone aside from having loud beep when triggered?
Maybe I should ask this in Smart Home thread.

Yes. A bit more expensive. It have an output where you can connect to your alarm system.

I think I have 1 smoke detector have such function. But don't remember. Cause I search such function before.

If you check with your friend house or relative house, you can know the statistic how many house equip with the fire safety.

I believe it is very low to none.

It is not kiasu. But our society of safety awareness is very low.

Zero money?

If you say people no money is bullshit.

But the fire safety device here are expensive. Gov should subsidy to reduce the price.

Gov did engage some NGO or fire safety co; to give talk to organiser, company etc. Each talk, they will claim to the gov.

Anyway the fire safety device cost is coming down compare last time. But still not as cheap as many country.

Go cheap and get more. Most of the time it is sitting there only.

Get the smoke detector that can link to your house alarm.

Not everyone can afford 200k cars

And not everyone understand safety and security risks.

Its a choice.... should you spend 2k on a Re-union dinner....

Or spend 1000 and use the other 1000 for a few fire extinguishers.

We live with choices everyday, and sometimes we have to bear the heavy burden of our choices..

This is the kind of person who can give a stupid unlogic reason in exchange for not to have a safety device in the house.

The news of house fired and death is not real for them.
