Smoke Alarms
Almost 2,500 people die in home fires every year in the United States. Most of these people live in homes that do not have working smoke alarms. Smoke alarms save lives!
- Install smoke alarms on the ceiling or high on the wall inside every bedroom and outside every sleeping area with at least one on every floor of your home.
- Test your smoke alarms every month! Push the test button on the alarm, if it beeps it is working. If it does not you need a new battery or a new alarm immediately.
- If your smoke alarm has batteries, change them every six months, we recommend doing it when you change your clocks for daylight savings. Long-life battery alarms do not need to be changed.
- Every 10 years replace all of the smoke alarms in your home!
CO Alarms
Carbon Monoxide alarms will keep your family safe and save lives as well! Here are some helpful tips to help prevent an excess of CO in your home:
- Never use a charcoal or gas grill in an enclosed space, such as inside your home, garage, or in a tent or camper.
- Never use a generator inside your home, garage, carport, basement, or near an outside window, door, or vent. Generators should be at least 20 feet away from buildings. Even at 20 feet away carbon monoxide can still get into a home so it's very important to have a working carbon monoxide alarm inside the home.
- Do not burn charcoal in your fireplace. A charcoal fire is not strong enough to push the carbon monoxide to the outside of a home.
- Never use a gas range or gas oven to heat your home.
- Never sleep in a room while using an unvented gas or kerosene heater.
