Sources of these fires may include flammable liquids or paper burning in a waste container. The photoelectric type alarms are generally more effective at detecting slow, smoldering fires which smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding. [. . . ] See TESTING THE SMOKE ALARM.
