Here are some tips to keep your Twin Cities home fire-safe. Fire Prevention Week is October 9-15, 2016. This is a great time to inspect your smoke alarms! The video below shows how to determine the age of your smoke alarm.
- Inspect your smoke alarms every quarter. Make sure that they are dust free and test correctly.
- Replace smoke alarms every 10 years. To find out how old a smoke alarm is, look at the date of manufacture on the back of the alarm; the alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date.
- Replace alarm batteries once per year. An easy way to remember is to replace the batteries when you set your clocks for daylight savings time.
- Keep a fire extinguisher in your kitchen and garage. Inspect it monthly and replace as needed.
