Home fires today can burn faster than ever before. Occupants may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Knowing how to use that time wisely takes planning and practice.
This year's Fire Prevention Week theme is "Look, Listen, Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere."
Tips
How old are your smoke alarms?
Smoke alarms don't last forever. They usually last 10 years. Check the manufacturer's date on your smoke alarms today! Replace expired alarms.
Keep your family safe with a working smoke alarm in every bedroom.
It's the law to have a working smoke detector on every level of your home. By installing an additional alarm in each bedroom you can add an extra layer of protection that may help save a life.
