Don’t Wait, Check the Date!

When is the last time the smoke detectors in your home were checked? According to the U.S. Fire Administration smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years.

Some alarming statistics on fire alarm importance:

• Three out of five home fire deaths result from fires in properties without working smoke alarms
• More than one-third (38 percent) of home fire deaths result from fires in which no smoke alarms are present.
• The risk of dying in a home fire is cut in half in homes with working smoke alarms.
