Smoke alarms are very important. They must be installed and maintained properly because they play a vital role in saving lives. Having a smoke alarm can reduce the risk of fire injury. 

Smoke Alarm Tips

• Install smoke alarms inside and outside each bedroom and sleeping area.
• Install alarms on every level of the home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected. When one sounds, they all sound.
• Smoke alarms should be installed 10 feet away from cooking appliance to prevent false alarms.
• Replace all smoke alarms every 10 years
• Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once year

 (Daylight Savings Time works well for maintenance.)
