Fire Alarm – Make Sure They Are Interlinked
Smoke and heat detectors should be link because if one goes off the other follows to allow people in different locations in a house to hear the alarm.
Example; If your kitchen heat detector (NOT SMOKE) triggers which is located on the ground floor and you are on the top floor of your house with all the door closed half asleep with music blazing you would more then likely to hear the alarm which is interlinked to your landing detector then one that isn’t.

Fire alarm – Location, Location & Location
You really need a site visit to confirm locations of detector but in most cases it is recommend as a minimum that a heat detector be located in a kitchen, a smoke detector in the hallway and landing.
This would cover most houses and detect most fires rapidly.
