Working Smoke Alarms Are a Must for Keeping Your Family Safe.

6/3/2020 (Permalink)

As we all know, the most valuable thing in our homes are the people that live there. Property and possessions can be fixed or replaced. What’s most important is your safety and the safety of those you care about.

About three out of five fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or working smoke alarms. Smoke alarms are a key part of a home fire escape plan providing early warning reducing your risk of dying in a fire. The National Fire Protection Association recommends you:

• Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas on the ceiling or high on the wall
• Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen, at least 10 feet from the stove, to reduce false alarms
• Use special alarms with strobe lights and bed shakers for people who are hard of hearing or deaf
• Test smoke alarms monthly
• Replace batteries annually, and change the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectorat the same time
• Replace smoke alarms that are 10 or more years old
