More than 116,000 children are killed or have burn related injuries due to house fires. Low income housing has been a persistent problem in many countries, and one of the critical issues faced by residents is the lack of functional smoke detectors. The absence of smoke detectors in these homes is a severe safety hazard, and it often leads to tragic consequences, especially for children. According to various reports, smoke detectors are not present or not functioning in many low income housing units. This means that residents are not alerted in case of a fire, putting their lives at risk. Children, who are particularly vulnerable, are often the ones who suffer the most. In some cases, smoke detectors are absent because residents cannot afford to purchase them or because landlords do not provide them. The lack of smoke detectors in low income housing not only puts residents' lives in danger but also causes significant financial losses, especially in the case of large-scale fires. The failure to provide smoke detectors in low income housing units is a violation of basic safety standards and a failure to ensure the well-being of the most vulnerable members of society. In conclusion, providing smoke detectors in low income housing should be a top priority for governments and landlords. Ensuring the safety of residents, especially children, should not be a luxury but a basic human right. The absence of smoke detectors in low income housing units is a serious issue that must be addressed as soon as possible.
