BE
SAFE, REPLACE
Research has shown that single station home
smoke detectors only have a reliable service life of
10 years. Place a date on the inside cover of your
smoke detector(s) when purchased, and replace them every
10 years. If you are in doubt about the age of
the detectors in your home, be safe and replace them. They
do not cost much and may save your life.
Have at least one smoke detector on each level
of your home. Place one outside the sleeping area(s). Install
as many other smoke detectors as you can afford. Ideally,
there should be one in every room except bathrooms and
kitchen. |
