Hear The Beep Where You Sleep

This year’s National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Fire Prevention Week theme is “Hear the Beep Where you Sleep – Every Bedroom needs a working smoke alarm.” The campaign’s key message, October 4-10, is to install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your home. You may need more alarms to keep your family safe if you have a large home.

More helpful tips include:

  • Install a smoke alarm in all bedrooms and where anyone sleeps.
  • Smoke alarms should be tested once a month.
  • Replace your smoke alarm every 10 years.
  • If the smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside.
  • If it makes a chirping sound, replace the battery and then test the alarm.
