LISTEN.LOOK. LISTEN. LEARN. BE AWARE! Fire can happen anywhere.
Listen for the smoke alarm to warn of a fire emergency. Early detection gives you the extra seconds you need to get out safely.
Smoke alarms save lives!
PROTECT YOUR FAMILY!
Homes today burn up to 8 times faster than 50 years ago.
Only working smoke alarms give you the early warning you
need to safely escape a fire.
• Install smoke alarms on every storey of your home and outside all sleeping areas. For best protection, install smoke alarms in every bedroom.
• Larger homes may require additional smoke alarms so everyone in the home can hear them in a fire emergency.
• Test smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year.
• Develop and practice a home fire escape plan.
