Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are crucial for home safety as they provide early warning of potential dangers like fire and carbon monoxide leaks, allowing for timely evacuation and potentially saving lives, especially since carbon monoxide is odorless and can be deadly if not detected quickly; essentially, they are the most important way to prevent fatalities from fires and CO poisoning in a home.
