October 8, 2015
October 4-10 is Fire Prevention Week, and this year's slogan is: Hear the Beep Where you Sleep, the focus being on the smoke detectors in your home. According to the National Fire Protection Association, every home should:
- Have a smoke detector in every bedroom
- Have a smoke detector outside each sleeping area and every level of the home
- Test smoke detectors once a month
- Replace all smoke detectors every 10 years
To make this a family activity, check out the following links about smoke detectors and general fire safety
