Smoke Detectors


Daylight Savings Time ends Sunday, November 6th and this weekend would be a good time to check and replace batteries in your smoke alarm.

Officials with the U.S. Fire Administration encourage citizens to test their home smoke alarms and replace batteries if more than one year old.

The USFA recommends testing alarms once a month using the test button, replace the entire alarm if it's more than 10 years old or doesn't work properly when tested, and install smoke alarms on every level of your home, including the basement.
