🚨Smoke Alarm Tips🚨


Install Wisely: Place smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside each bedroom, and outside sleeping areas.

Test Monthly: Press the test button at least once a month to ensure they’re working.

Change Batteries: Replace the batteries at least once a year. Consider 10-year lithium batteries for less hassle!

Replace Old Alarms: If your smoke alarm is over 10 years old, it’s time to replace it.

Create an Escape Plan: Make sure everyone in your home knows how to escape in case of a fire. Practice regularly!
