I added a dual chamber smoke detector in the bedroom. I will never buy a single chamber detector again. 2 smoke detectors in a Montana is plenty. While not related to fire hazards per se, I also added a CO detector in my bedroom too. When burning propane for heat and hot water and cooking, CO is always a risk.
If a fire breaks out in one of these babys, you better hope your hand is on the door handle. The heat and smoke level will get lethal in about a minute flat. I was a firefighter many years ago, and witnessed more than one fire in mobile homes. They give even more time than a 5er would. Lets just say that mobile home carry an inordinately high death rate by fire when compared to conventional homes.
If a fire happens in one of these, don't even think about trying to fight it no matter what you have ready. No extinguishers, no hoses, no anything. Just get out now, and stay out.
