Smoke detectors are a great thing. Especially when they are maintained (batteries, tested, etc...) I have been burning wood for many years for heat. I would recommend you do a little research if you plan on continuing this process. It isn't as dangerous as many think if done properly. Follow codes, safety devices, and know your wood-burner. They all are different and burn different.

So true and I'll bet you do not put wood that close again.

Smoke detectors do save lives and that has been proven over and over. Nice report out on a life and property saving event here instead of another death by fire with no smoke detector in the home.
