Make it law that every habited property must have a working smoke detector

Petition Details

Too many people are dying unnecessarily in house fires or other properties because there is no smoke detector or no working smoke detector. It makes sense for it to be unlawful not to have one.

Additional Information

We believe this is a long overdue, simple law to implement. Many fire stations will fit smoke detectors at no cost to the resident. We think this makes complete sense and could save lives.

If this law, when implemented, is flouted, the owner of the property could have to face criminal charges of negligence at best, or murder at worst.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
