Poisonous gases and smoke from a fire can numb the senses in a very short time. That's why every home needs smoke alarms to wake you up in time to escape. Your fire department recommends you install a smoke alarm on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas. Test your smoke alarms regularly to make sure they work and change the batteries at least once a year.
Most fatal fires occur at night, while people are asleep.
