Smoke detectors mandatory in Brussels from 2025
From January 2025, smoke detectors will be compulsory in all homes in the Brussels Capital Region. But don't wait until then because they protect you in case of fire.
Nowadays, fires spread so quickly that they can be fatal within 3 minutes. Smoke detectors make it possible to detect a fire faster, increasing the chances of survival.
That is why smoke detectors will be compulsory in all homes in the Brussels Region from January 2025.
