Health Tip: Install Smoke Detectors at Home
By LadyLively on September 15, 2016
Installing smoke alarms in your home is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family.
The American Red Cross advises:
- Place smoke alarms throughout the home, including in rooms where people sleep, on each level and outside each bedroom.
- Make sure children know what a smoke detector sounds like, and that they know what to do if they hear one.
- Perform monthly tests on your devices, changing batteries at least annually. Get new smoke detectors every ten years.
- Never turn off a smoke detector.
- Don’t use a carbon monoxide alarm in place of a smoke detector. They serve different purposes. Know how they both work and why both are needed.
