In recent years, the Fire Department has actively promoted residential fire alarm detectors. In order to more effectively promote the public, this study investigates the public's perception of residential fire alarms and whether the different backgrounds (age and gender)'s significantly influence the perception of fire alarm detectors. The study collected the data from who live in residential buildings, or apartments below the fifth floor without fire alarm equipment. A total of 372 questionnaires were issued; within the returned questionnaire result and 324 were valid. According to the results, 12.9% of the respondents did not know the functions of the residential fire alarm; 87.% of the respondents did know the functions of the residential fire alarm, while 90% of the them thought that residential fire alarms are must-have products for the family, but only about 60% of the them can accept the price of a residential fire alarm. Additionally, gender and age have significantly influenced on the perceptions of the functionality and demand for residential fire detectors. In terms of gender, men generally believe that residential fire alarms are easier to maintain than women; in terms of age, groups above 30 years old generally believe that residential fire alarms are easier to maintain than those under 30 years old.
