Fire Safety Tips:

Smoke Alarms

Fire injuries and deaths can be prevented. A few easy steps can save your life!

Install a smoke alarm on every floor of your home, even the basement.
Install a smoke alarm outside every sleeping area. Ideally, install smoke alarms in every sleeping area, too.
Test smoke alarms monthly.
Change the batteries at least once a year-maybe at Daylight Savings Time or on your birthday.
Teach children what your smoke alarm sounds like and what to do if they hear it-get out and crawl low under smoke.
Never disable a smoke alarm (like for cooking smoke). Consider alarms with hush buttons.
Never remove a smoke alarm battery for some other use, like a radio or video game.
Keep smoke alarms clean. Vacuum them often.
Replace smoke alarms after 10 years.
Choose smoke alarms that come with 10-year batteries.
