This week is Fire Prevention Week — an important time to protect your family against the threat of home fires by testing your smoke alarms and practicing your home fire escape plan. Home fires claim seven lives every day in the U.S. – but having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half. Here are three tips to make sure your smoke alarm will protect you: 1) Place smoke alarms on each level of your home, including inside and outside bedrooms and sleeping areas. 2) Change the batteries at least once a year, if your model requires it. 3) Check the manufacturer’s date of your smoke alarms. If they’re 10 years or older, they need to be replaced because the sensor becomes less sensitive over time. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. #EndHomeFires
