Australasian DEADLY
Smoke Alarm Tour II
15 ~ 26 May, 2012
Captain Russell Ashe (above)
was awarded a Medal of
Honour after ' The Fire That
Changed Everything' in Barre
City, Vermont, USA in 2005.
This tragic fire exposed the
deadly flaws in the ionization
type of smoke alarms in
hundreds of millions of homes
around the world.
After Ashe performed an
'A q u a r i u m ' a n d f u l l - s c a l e
smoke alarm tests, Vermont
became America's first State
to pass photoelectric smoke
alarm legislation (see below).
So why have fire fighters and
the public not been warned
that the ionization type of
smoke alarm is now scientifically
proven to be defective?
Ashe is touring Australia
and New Zealand in May,
2012 with the World Fire
Safety Foundation to warn
about ionization smoke alarms
and to promote the safe
photoelectric alternatives.

Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) is, so to speak, in bed
with the smoke alarm
manufactures.
!
!
Defendant UL was
negligent or wanton . . . by
failing to formulate and
implement safety standards
for ionization smoke alarms
that required ionization
smoke alarms to detect slow
smoldering fires in a timely
manner . . .

C.A.N. Report

. . . how many more lives will be needlessly lost while the truth about ionization
smoke alarms continues to remain hidden from the public and our firefighters?

Averyanas Story
Valerie Rivett
Averyanas Aunt, Fire
Safety Campaigner,
Auburn, New York, USA
Averyana Dale most likely lost her life because the ionization smoke
detector that was present in the home she was in did not alert her to the
fire until it was too late. If a photoelectric detector had been in the home,
it is considerably more likely she would have been alerted to the smoke
sooner and would have made it out safely.
