The ionization type alarms are generally more effective at detecting fast, flaming fires
that consume combustible materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires
may include paper burning in a waste container or a grease fire in the kitchen.
The photoelectric type alarms are generally more effective at detecting slow,
smoldering fires that smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these
fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
