Smoke Alarms
Directory Site Map
An installed smoke alarm can cut the
risk of dying in a home fire by nearly 50%. Remarkably at least
one-third of all smoke alarms installed in homes fail to operate when
fire strikes because of poor maintenance. Check your smoke alarm at
least once every month. If your home has smoke detectors wired into the
house's electrical system, they should also be tested monthly. Ideally
your house should have a battery-operated smoke alarm as well.
