Tragic, but it beggars belief that two highly qualified doctors with young kids in the house didn't have a working smoke alarm*. The fire brigade will fit them for free, for crying out loud.
So if they're fitted, test them, and if not, get one. You don't want to be in the situation this poor chap is in.
* So not specifically mentioned, but to paraphrase from a retired Chief Fire Inspector (or whatever the rank is): "I've never yet come across a death that couldn't have been prevented if smoke alarms were fitted".
