The West Frankfort Fire Department, in a effort to increase Fire Safety and Awareness suggests residents spend part of their time testing smoke alarms during the Holiday Season.
Fire is the second leading cause of unintentional deaths in the home.
Each year 3700 people die in residential fires, and there are more than 400,000 residential fires reported that are serious enough to be reported to Fire Departments. It has been reported that 90 percent of U.S. households have smoke detectors. Smoke Alarms save lives if maintained properly. They should be tested monthly, and the batteries replaced twice a year or when the batteries are making a chirping sound.
