Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years
Posted on October 10, 2016 at 6:25 AM |
The National Fire Prevention Association has announced that October 9 - 15, 2016 is Fire Prevention Week. This year the focus is on educating people about their smoke detectors. A recent study showed that "only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are, or how often they need to be replaced."
Here is a reminder for you:
- Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years.
- Make sure you know how old all the smoke alarms are in your home.
- To find out how old a smoke alarm is, look at the date of manufacture on the back of the alarm; the alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date.
