Fire Prevention Week
Fire Prevention Week takes place from October 6 to 12, and aims to help educate the community on fire safety and preparedness. This year’s theme, as announced by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!” and strives to educate everyone about the importance of having working smoke alarms in your home.
Remember these key smoke alarm safety tips and guidelines:
- Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area (like a hallway), and on each level (including the basement) of your 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 stop responding when tested; and
Make sure the smoke alarms in your home meet the needs of all family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.
