Test your smoke detectors. Test them every month by pressing the test button and waiting a few seconds for the alarm to sound. Change the battery in the smoke detector every time you adjust your clocks for daylight savings time. Crawl low under smoke. If there is smoke in your house stay low.
Smoke rises and breathable air remains at floor level.
