Disabled

Disabled individuals with limitations in vision, hearing, or other physical and mental problems are at increased risk of injury and death from fire. Ability to hear the warning sounds from a smoke detector and quickly evacuate the location is especially difficult for those individuals that have hearing problems and are physically impaired.
