Waking children with maternal voice smoke alarms

"Please see the US Fire Administration email below about a remarkable study and consider forwarding it to your coworkers as part of your site’s Home Safety program. The results showed that a maternal voice alarm was about three times more likely to wake a child than a tone alarm. Also, 85 percent of the children woken by a maternal voice alarm had enough time to escape, compared to just 51 percent for the tone alarm."
