Smoky, smelly workshop

[dennis thompson]

I have smoke detectors all over my house, I never thought to put one in my garage shop,which if I had thought about it would have been the first place I should put one. After reading this thread I put one up today. Thanks for the suggestion.

I use several and wish I had one that would trigger an outdoor siren I could hear from the house through the woods about 300 ft away.

Don't forget fire extinguishers too, one for every room in the shop!

Thanks for all the comments. I do have it on a switchable circuit - but I guess you need to actually turn it off for that to be effective...

And I do have a fire extinguisher. But nobody would have been there to operate it.

It all makes you think.

I will look into the First alert on - thanks for that suggestion.

Nothing much scarier to us than our shop burning down.
