Smoke & CO Detectors

Properly installed smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are extremely important, as they reduce deaths and injuries if maintained correctly. In the event of a fire, a smoke detector will alert the nearest fire department to respond to the fire. If the detector isn't working properly, that's precious time for the fire department to respond, time that is wasted. Carbon monoxide detectors work the same way as smoke detectors. However, carbon monoxide is a deadly odorless gas that you can't see, so if the safety detector isn't functioning, you are in serious trouble. A CO detector is the only way to know if carbon monoxide is present in your home. You can see a fire and smell the smoke, but you can't with carbon monoxide, that is why its nickname is "the silent killer." Make sure all of your emergency detectors are fully functioning by checking them on a monthly basis. If the detectors have removable batteries, be sure to replace them every six months. Keep in mind, even if you replace the batteries, these detectors don't last forever. That's why it's vital to regularly check your home's emergency detectors.
