Smoke Alarms can save your life.

7/23/2018 (Permalink)

Smoke alarms must be installed and maintained properly because they play a vital role in saving lives. Having the smoke alarm can reduce the risk of fire injury in half. Along with having a smoke alarm, it is best you have a fire escape plan so everyone can escape quickly and safely.  

Here are a few tips you need to know!

  • Install smoke alarms inside and outside each bedroom and sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected. When one sounds, they all sound.
  • Smoke alarms should be installed 10 feet away from cooking appliance to prevent false alarms.
  • Replace all smoke alarms every 10 years
  • Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once year

 (Daylight Savings Time works well for maintenance.)

  • Test smoke alarms once a month
  • Clean Dust from sensor openings.

Remember one simple smoke alarm could be the one and only saving grace that your family has in the time of an emergency, especially if you and your family are fast asleep when a fire breaks out.
