FIRE SAFETY TIP OF THE DAY
Have you checked the age of your smoke detectors lately?
Smoke detectors should be replaced every 10 years, even if they appear to be working properly.
Take a few minutes today to check the date on the back of each detector. If it is 10 years old or older, it’s time to replace it.
A working smoke detector can make the difference between getting out safely and not getting out at all.
Check it. Test it. Replace it. Stay safe!
