CFA: Increase in homes with operational smoke alarms
CFA reported 214 homes received a smoke alarm installation service during Q1 2025–26. This is a drop of 14.74% against its baseline of 251. The FSIM notes in comparison the strong results in Q1 2023–24 and Q1 2024–25, where CFA exceeded the respective baselines (and which has contributed to a higher baseline
this year).
While the Q1 2025–26 baseline was not met, CFA noted that the Q1 result is good progress on its annual target of 500 homes. CFA also advised that the variation for Q1 results in previous years can be explained by factors including the availability of resources (budget, people, smoke alarms) and other concurrent activities. In
some years, Q4 figures will be higher due to increased activity, while in other years, more activity may be concentrated in Q1.
