This week is Fire Prevention Week, and this year’s message from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) is “Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work For You!”
When working smoke alarms are present in your home, the risk of dying in a home fire is cut by 60 percent, according to the latest NFPA research.
Please take a moment to review these tips regarding smoke alarms:
Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home.
The NFPA recommends testing smoke alarms once a month, especially older models with replaceable batteries.
Replace all smoke alarms when they are either 10 years old or stop responding when tested.
Thank you for your dedication to keeping our community and loved ones safe. Should you have any questions, please contact us: firemarshal@nederlandfire.org
