It’s Fire Prevention Week and this year’s theme is Smoke Alarms: Make them work for you!
Working smoke alarms save lives, cutting the risk of dying in a home fire in half. Smoke alarms should be installed and maintained in every home. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home. Install alarms in the basement. Larger homes may require additional smoke alarms to provide a minimum level of protection. Test smoke alarms at least once a month using the test button.
