An ionization smoke sensor including a pair of ionization chambers normally biased to maintain an ionic current which varies in response to smoke particles within one of the chambers. A normally non-conductive transistor is biased to conduct when an impedance change of the combination of ionization chambers, caused by the smoke, exceeds a certain amount. The conductive transistor in turn biases a thyristor to conduct to actuate an alarm circuit. A comparator circuit is connected between the transistor and the thyristor for providing a biased signal therebetween. The biased signal is not applied by the comparator until the current through the conductive transistor exceeds a certain threshold value. Consequently, leakage currents of the transistor when it is non-conductive are isolated from the thyristor to prevent erroneous triggering of the same.
