Smoke Alarms Safety Tips

12/13/2017 (Permalink)

Functional smoke alarms are key for any fire emergency at home as they provide you and your family an early warning of fire danger. Check out these safety tips. 

SAFETY TIPS:

  • install smoke alarms in each bedroom, in each level of the home, outside of sleeping areas, and in the basement
  • keep smoke alarms at least 10 feet from the stove/kitchen to avoid false alarms
  • try to use interconnected smoke alarms where if one goes off, they all do
  • larger homes may need more smoke alarms
  • test each smoke alarm once a month to make sure they are functional
  • people who are hard of hearing can use special alarms that strobe flashes of light or shake the bed
  • replace smoke alarms after 10 years
