Smoke alarms save lives. Sixty-five percent of home fire deaths happen in homes
with no smoke alarms at all or no smoke alarms that work. When there is a fire,
smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.
Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and
on every level of the home, including the basement. Interconnect all smoke
alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound.
Install smoke alarms following manufacturer’s instructions high on a wall or on a
ceiling because smoke rises. Save manufacturer’s instructions for testing and
maintenance.
Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.
Install a new battery in all smoke alarms at least once a year. Immediately install
a new battery if an alarm “chirps”, warning the battery is low.
Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use long-life 10 year non-
replaceable batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are 10 year old or
sooner if they do not respond properly.
Be sure the smoke alarm has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.
Alarms that run on household current (and include battery backup) require
installation by a qualified electrician. Alarms that run on just batteries can be
installed by anyone.
