Abstract	NRC's Fire Risk Management Program has completed an experimental study of smoke-alarm response in residential dwellings, using the unique opportunity of the Kemano Public Safety Initiative. Working with the Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada, NRC conducted a series of full-scale fire detection experiments in Kemano, a deserted town in northern British Columbia. This study has produced experimental data that can be used to analyze the impacts of type, number and location of smoke-alarms on fire detection time, to improve relevant codes/standards, and ultimately to make better use of current smoke-alarm technology to safeguard Canadians and their homes against fires.
