It can be assumed that smoke alarms reduce reported fires and casualties by reducing on average the amount of time it takes to detect a fire. This paper sets out to determine by how much that detection time is reduced. It does so by comparing the effect of smoke-alarm presents (and time of day) to the effect of fire-department travel time using data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System. On average, smoke alarms reduce reporting time by 19.2 ( 0.016) minutes. This is comparable to the average time delay from having a fire at night. If smoke alarms are present, having a fire at night (between the hours of 11 and 6) adds 18.1 ( 0.013) minutes, and without an alarm, having a fire at night adds on average 20.5 ( 0.024). Smoke alarms are more effective at night, saving 2.4 ( 0.016) minutes more at night than during the day.

This report sets out to answer three questions. What effect does installing smoke detectors have on reported fires and casualties for the average household? How much of an effect would increasing smoke detector utilization have on the total number of fires and casualties in the United States? And what are the attributes of homes currently without smoke detectors and where are they located? We estimate the installation of smoke detectors in homes without them reduces the expected number of fires reported from a (formerly) non-smoke-detector residence by a factor of 3.5 to 5, and reduces the number of expected casualties by a factor of 2.5 to 3.5. Unexpectedly, we find the number of casualties per reported fire is lower for non-smoke- detector households compared to smoke-detector households. This could be due to changes in people's behavior when they have a smoke detector in the house or because the less dangerous fires are preferentially extinguished when smoke detectors are present. If smoke detectors were installed in all residences, the number of fires reported to the fire department could be reduced by 25 % or more. More realistically, each percent increase in smoke detector penetration reduces reported fires by more than 2.6 %. Finally, estimates of smoke detector utilization at the census tract level were developed for the entire country. We find evidence that the number of homes with smoke detectors are lower than current estimates that rely on telephone-only survey interviews. We estimate actual smoke detector usage is likely below 92 %. It seems likely that this is due to a correlation between phone presence and smoke detector utilization.
