Smoke alarms: check the date, they don't last forever.
"October is Fire Prevention Month, and this week is Fire Prevention Week. Here are 5 things we look at on every inspection that could protect your home:
1. Smoke and CO detectors: test them monthly and check the date stamp. Replace after about 10 years.
2. Dryer vents: lint buildup is a real fire risk.
3. Overloaded outlets and power strips.
4. Electrical panel: scorch marks, loose wiring, or double-tapped breakers.
5. Furnace and water heater clearances.
