Smoke Alarm Are Lifesavers
Did you know that smoke alarms cut the risk dying in a fire by fifty percent? 96% of the homes in the US have at least one smoke alarm, but many of these homes are not testing their alarms monthly or replacing batteries annually. Each year, 3,000 people die in residential home fires and two-thirds of those that died were in homes without smoke alarms. A very small percentage of people know that smoke alarms need to be replaced every ten years. They are inexpensive insurance, and take only a few minutes to replace. Why not look at your alarms today and see if they need to be replaced or have the batteries replaced?
