3. 2 Reminding you of the following Fire Prevention Safety Tips: Test alarms once a month by pushing the test button. Replace all the batteries at least once a year. If the alarm “chirps” it is a warning signal letting you know the batteries need to be replaced or the entire alarm does if it has non-replaceable batteries that are designed to work for ten years. Replace all your smoke alarms when they are ten years old or sooner if they are not working properly.

4. 3 SMOKE ALARMS: A sound you can live with Alarms should be installed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of your home - including the basement. Interconnected smoke alarms have the best protection. If one sounds, they all sound. Everyone in your home should know the sound of the smoke alarm. Remember to practice your escape plan at least twice a year when testing the smoke alarms. Safety Tips - continued -
