"Ionization type alarms provided somewhat better response to flaming fires than photoelectric alarms, and photoelectric [optical] alarms provide (often) considerably faster response to smoldering fires than ionization type alarms." Smoke detectors are trivially inexpensive compared to the cost of fire dama...
