Hey,
A few years ago we had a discussion with some industry folks about the idea of a smoke and CO detector the size of a key chain. Attach it to book bags, hand bags, car keys, backpacks, suitcases-whatever-the idea was truly personal "always on the job" protection....especially when people are unknowingly in areas that lacked it. 
When I was sent this article today, I was THRILLED because people are thinking about fire survival. Check this out...a new patent granted to Apple hinting that the company plans to include a smoke detector in the iPhone, iPad and other other iDevices. Whoa.

WHOA! A smoke alarm built in portable devices such as smartphones and tablets is a great and needed idea. Apple's plan to add a smoke detector to its iDevices can protect people WHEREVER they are. The below report explains that a small smoke detection sensor will be installed in an iDevice, which will be similar to the ones found in normal smoke detectors. The sensors can alert users when it detects smoke and also communicate location via GPS and call the fire department.
 
RUMOR: I am working with Apple to create an iFireSprinkler - where your iDevice would actually discharge water and/or an extinguishing agent to protect you and those around you in the event of fire. haha- just kidding. 
Or maybe not...technology is pretty cool these days.
 
HERE is the APPLEiSider REPORT:
