Fire Prevention Week: Key Smoke Alarm Safety Tips
Staff Report / RockyMountlocal.org
During the upcoming Fire Prevention Week from October 6 to October 12, 2024, the Rocky Mount Fire Department emphasizes the importance of smoke alarms in home safety. The theme for this year is “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!”
The fire department provides several key guidelines for smoke alarm safety:
1. **Install**: Smoke alarms should be placed in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area such as hallways, and on every level of the home, including the basement.
2. **Test**: Homeowners are advised to test smoke alarms at least once a month by pressing the test button.
3. **Replace**: All smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years or if they are not responsive during testing.
These measures are crucial as smoke alarms can significantly enhance safety by alerting residents to potential fires. For further information, residents can refer to the Rocky Mount Fire Department's social media platforms.
