The advanced warning is necessary because the occupancy is combustible.
The logic begs everything to be non combustible. . .
How do we draw the line? The paddlefan, being a creature comfort accouterment, is like the couch or the bedding or the newspaper or the cigarettes. . .it all adds to the problem that requires the technological solution of a smoke detector.
