            Nope - none do. by Tomo 2005-05-07 12:50:42
There are two main types of fire detector:

a) Smoke detectors - available in ionisation and optical variants, these detect the smoke particles.

b) Heat detectors ('Black Bulb') - available in rate-of-rise and absolute temperature variants.

All kinds have advantages and disadvantages, but the ionisation smoke detectors are the cheapest (and turn in in most domestic alarms) while the rate-of-rise heat detectors are the most expensive and tend to be used in more specialist locations, such as theatres and factories.
