Since March 2000, the World Fire Safety Foundation (WFSF) has warned that ionisation alarms should immediately be banned from all homes globally.
Finally, we're starting to be heard. . .

Because the truth about Ionisation alarms has been kept from the public, tens of thousands of people globally have needlessly died.
Campaigners fought long and hard for Queensland's historic legislation.

The
ALARMING
Truth!
March 2024
Extensive global research, court cases and Photoelectric-Only legislation (the U.S., Australia and N.Z.) will be revealed in the World Fire Safety Foundation's explosive, tell-all book.
Why has the truth about ionisation alarms been
kept from the public?
For legal* and political reasons,** despite global scientific (CSIRO and other) research proving ionisation alarms are DEADLY, governments and manufacturers will not reveal their fatal flaw.***
*for litigation and life-safety concerns go here.
**governments rarely admit their mistakes.
***they frequently fail to go off in the critical, early/smouldering stage of fatal fires.
