Smoke Alarms

It’s simple: Smoke alarms save lives!

Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. 

Safety Tips:

• Per the National Fire Protection Agency code 10.4.6, smoke alarms are required to be replaced every 10 years.
• Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home.
• Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home so when one sounds, they all sound.
• Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.
• Install smoke alarms following the manufacturer’s instructions high on a wall or on a ceiling.
• Save manufacturer’s instructions for testing and maintenance.
• Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year.
• If an alarm “chirps”, waring the battery is low, replace the battery right away.
• Alarms that are hard-wired (and include battery backup) must be installed by a qualified electrician.
• Smoke alarms that include a recordable voice announcement in addition to the usual alarm sound may be helpful in waking children.
• Smoke alarms are available for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.  These devices use strobe lights and vibration devices can be added to these alarms.
