Engine Group has launched a new campaign for Queensland Fire and Emergency Services, encouraging landlords to ‘Get interconnected’.
From 1 January 2022, all residential investment properties must have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms installed at the start of a new lease or renewal.
The important message is that this new legislation is about saving lives. Interconnected alarms ‘talk’ to each other, so when one activates, they all go off.
Says Mark Smith, creative director, Engine Group: “We didn’t just want to tell people it’s the law, so you must fit them. It’s easier to accept the need for change when you can highlight the potentially life-threatening limitations of existing systems.”
