Have two ways out!

Smoke Alarm Locations

• Sleeping Quarters– Inside and Outside the door (In the hall way)

• Kitchens– Do not take batteries out to cook!

• Basement– Many houses have the electrical panels in the

basement, which is a common cause of a fire.

Testing Smoke alarms

• Smoke alarms should be tested every month.– Most new smoke alarms have a test button

• Smoke alarms need to be replaced every 8 – 10 years (sensor inside goes bad)

• Read the manual when buying a new smoke alarm– Will have information on battery replacement and

testing.
