Smoke Alarm Safety

1. Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, including inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. 2. Test your smoke alarms monthly to ensure they are functioning properly.

3. Replace the batteries at least once a year, and replace the entire smoke alarm every10 years.

4. Create and practice a fire escape plan with your family, ensuring everyone knows how to respond in case of an alarm. Stay safe!
