Working Smoke Alarms Are Key to Surviving Home Fires
Smoke alarms are proven life savers. When there is a fire, smoke alarms buy families valuable escape time. Unfortunately, about two-thirds of fire deaths take place in homes with no smoke alarms or with non-working smoke alarms. The most common reasons why alarms do not work are missing, disconnected, or dead batteries. Consumers need to make sure that they have a working smoke alarm!
