When Was the Last Time You Checked Your Smoke Alarms?

Check your smoke alarms today! If your alarm has a replaceable battery, install a fresh one. If it has a sealed, long-life battery, you’re good to go until the unit reaches the end of its service life.

Remember, smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, even if they still appear to be working.

How old are yours? Remove the alarm from its mounting bracket and check the label on the back for the manufacture date. If there is no date, or the alarm is 10 years old or older, it’s time to replace it.

A working smoke alarm can save lives. Take a few minutes today to make sure yours are ready to protect you and your family!
