Will a fog machine set of a smoke detector?
Yes, a fog machine can set off a smoke detector, especially if it uses glycol or glycerin-based fog fluid, which can produce particles that resemble smoke. However, some fog machines produce a denser fog that may trigger detectors more easily. To prevent false alarms, it's best to use fog machines in areas with smoke detectors turned off or to use fog fluids specifically designed to minimize the risk of triggering alarms. Always check local fire safety regulations before using fog machines in public or commercial spaces.
