SMOKE ALARMS SAVE LIVES
Three of every five home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms (38%) or no working smoke alarms (21%). To prevent this, you should test all smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is works.
There are two kinds of alarms: Ionization Smoke Alarms and Photoelectric Alarms. Ionization Smoke Alarms are quicker to warm about flaming fires and photoelectric alarms are quicker to warm about smoldering fires.
It is best to use both types of alarms in your home.
Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement, and replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
