Smoke detectors

Smoke detectors serve as an early warning device for the occupants to react giving them the time to ask for help and time to escape.

Place smoke detectors near sleeping areas since most incidents occur during night and early evenings. Do not place a smoke detector near the kitchen, cooking fumes will always put it in active.

Check your smoke detectors periodically if working properly or if battery needs replacement. It will begin to “chirp” every 20 seconds and persist for a month means your battery should be replaced.
