Installing smoke alarms in your home will provide valuable time to allow you and your family to get out if fire strikes. This early warning is critical because the majority of fatal home fires occur at night while people are asleep. Place smoke alarms at the top of stairways leading to bedrooms and at the top of stairs leading from the basement. Every home must have at least one smoke alarm for each floor where there are sleeping areas and ideally one should be installed in each bedroom. Follow the installation instructions carefully and test your detectors every week following the manufacturer's directions.
Smoke detectors are simple to install and save lives.
