October 6, 2024, kicks off Fire Prevention Week. This year’s campaign, “Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work For You!” strives to educate everyone about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home. Key messages this year include the following:
🚨Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area (like a hallway), and on each level (including the basement) of the home.
🚨Test smoke alarms at least once a month by pushing the test button.
🚨Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or don’t respond when tested.
