Fire Prevention

Elaine Nashashibi had just minutes to get out of their house when the smoke detector went off. Today she says smoke detectors are absolutely essential and should be checked regularly to be sure they are in good working order. Fire education expert Mary Marchone says the more smoke detectors you have in your home the more likely you will be able to escape a fire. According to the U.S. Fire Administration is that people are not taking proper care of battery operated smoke detectors which means many people think they are protected when they are not. The biggest mistake occurs when a homeowner removes a dead battery then fails to replace it for days, weeks or months.

a smoke alarm will save your life as long as you take proper care of it by changing the battery when it churps or when daylight savings time comes your smoke alarm will not work without a battery or if the battery no good anymore. and for those of you people out their that don't have smoke alarms get some!!!!! and if you already have smoke alarms make sure they still work if they dont get new ones!!!! and be sure to install a carbon Monoxide alarm at least 15 feet from your furnace.
