{{Era|TS|TS2|TS3|TS4}}A '''smoke detector''', also known as a '''fire alarm''', is an electronic device in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. It alerts [[Sim]]s and the [[Fire Department]] when there is a [[fire]] in the house. This is a useful item because Sims often have an [[autonomous reaction]] to go see a fire and won't phone the Fire Department or extinguish it themselves even if directed.▼

The fire alarm will only work if it is in the same room as the fire. For example, if there is an oven that is on fire and one fire alarm up in the bedroom, it will not work.

|desc = Keep you and your loved ones from becoming beloved barbecue with the SmokeSniffer from SmokeSentry. Emitting pulsating waves of gamma radiation, the SmokeSniffer picks up the scent of small fires before they become charbroiling infernos and immediately alerts the local fire department. Put one in every room, and smoke out fires before they smoke out you!
}}''The Sims 2'' introduced a smoke detector that worked similarly to the one in ''The Sims''. A firefighter from the fire department will arrive almost immediately after the alarm goes off, and the noise will alert other Sims around the lot to the fire. If placed outdoors, it will cover the entire outdoor area, limited only by fences.▼

▲In ''The Sims 4'', all fire alarms on the same floor regardless if separated by rooms will activate immediately after a fire has started. Fire alarms that have been placed upstairs, however, will not react to a fire. As firefighters are not present in ''The Sims 4'', fire alarms will not summon one; instead, they will trigger sprinklers to appear over the fire if the [[Sprinkler (fire)#The Sims 4|Fire Prevention System Utility Panel]] is also present on the lot.
