Woolston's mix of older timber-framed homes and rental properties means smoke alarm compliance is both a legal requirement and a genuine life-safety priority. Character cottages with original timber linings and decades-old wiring carry a higher fire risk than modern homes — properly placed photoelectric smoke alarms are the critical first line of defence.
