Oct 3-9 is Fire Prevention Week!
We want to share safety tips to help you “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety”
-
A continuous set of three loud beeps means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out.
-
A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed.
-
All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years.
-
Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life andthe unit must be replaced.
-
Make sure your smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.
