Is Your Smoke Detector Working?

Fires claim lives every year, and many times these deaths could have been prevented with something as simple as a smoke detector.

Some homes have smoke detectors installed, but due to batteries being pulled out of them, they don't serve their purpose.

Your home should have at least one smoke detector installed on each floor, as well as one outside each bedroom so that you will be woken up as soon as possible if the fire were to start up at night.

If you have any area in your home where you store flammable materials, there should be an alarm installed there, as well.

A safer alternative to regular battery operated alarms is one that is hard wired with a battery backup, but these systems cost more upfront and require more work to install.

No matter what methods you choose, it is important that you have a system that is safe and reliable. Your life depends upon it.
