You've got a smoke alarm in the lounge, kitchen, hallway, bedrooms — but what about in the garage? It's not the kind of place you'd automatically think of to install a smoke alarm. Roslyn King, from Ross Grove, Paraparaumu, will be the first to advise that a smoke alarm in the garage is a very good idea. Roslyn said a lot of people were shocked about the fire, "especially with the idea of a garage going up". Having a smoke alarm in the garage was "absolutely important, especially if it's under your dwelling", she said.
