1. A wireless emergency alarm notification system comprising:

  • (a) a sensor unit, wherein the sensor unit is positioned adjacent or near to a smoke detection system located in the interior of or exterior to a structure that produces one or more signals in response to a detection of smoke, wherein the sensor unit has an ability to detect one or more signals produced by the smoke detector(s) and, in response to such signals, generates one or more radio signals, and wherein the sensor unit includes;

    (1) a microphone, wherein the microphone has an ability to detect one or more signals generated by the smoke detection system or carbon monoxide detection system;

    (2) a control unit, wherein the control unit has an ability to determine the quality of the signals generated by the smoke detection unit or carbon detection system;

    (3) a transmitter, wherein the transmitter only activates if a sound is produced from the smoke detector that has approximately the same decibel, pitch and frequency of the sound generated by the smoke detection system or carbon monoxide detection system, and wherein the transmitter has an ability to transmit one or more radio signals to a receiver unit located exterior to the structure; and

    (4) a self contained power source, wherein the power source has an ability to energize the wireless emergency alarm notification system components and;

    (b) a receiver unit located in the interior of or exterior to the structure, wherein the receiver unit has an ability to receive one or more radio signals generated by the transmitter of the sensor unit and, in response to such radio signals, activate one or more audible alarms, one or more visual indicators or a combination of one or more audible alarms and one or more visual indicators, and wherein the receiver unit includes;

    (1) an antenna, wherein the antenna has an ability to detect the radio signal;

    (2) a frequency modulated tuner, wherein the frequency modulated tuner has an ability to adjust the frequency modulated signal to the correct frequency;

    (3) a frequency modulated receiver, wherein the frequency modulated receiver has an ability to receive and reproduce frequency modulated signals;

    (4) a self contained power source, wherein the power source has an ability to energize the components; and

    (5) a control unit, where the control unit has the ability to determine the quality of the signals generated by the smoke detection unit or carbon monoxide detection unit. (6) An audible alarm, where the audible alarm has the ability to emit a sound capable of drawing attention to the presence of an emergency condition such as smoke or carbon monoxide in the interior of the structure. (7) A strobe light, where the strobe light has the ability to emit an illuminated light source which draws attention to the presence of an emergency condition such as smoke or carbon monoxide in the interior of the structure. wherein the wireless emergency alarm notification system has an ability to alert one or more human beings located exterior to a structure or in the periphery of the structure containing the wireless emergency alarm notification system of the presence of smoke in the interior of the structure using radio frequency wireless communication;

    a alarm reset, wherein the alarm reset has the ability to reset the system to a state of readiness;

    1. Wherein the wireless emergency alarm notification system has an ability to alert one or more human beings located exterior to a structure containing the wireless emergency alarm notification system of the presence of smoke or an emergency situation in the area where the wireless emergency alarm notification system is located using wireless communication.
