Re: House fire!
I dropped this into the conversation this afternoon with said landlord as he was lamenting his poor choice of insurance. It would appear he is very aware of his liability!

Funnily enough my Wife mentioned the same thing at teatime. It is a good thing. We have had such an alarm for ever it seems.

Re: House fire!
just beware of a smoke / heat alarm in the loft i did this a few years ago linked into all the others......
in times of rapid temperature changes causes condensation up there to send the alarm into melt down (not what you want at 3am as you search the house in your boxers
