A simple thing; change
batteries and save lives
The Grants Pass Dept.
of Public Safety (GPDPS)
Fire Prevention Bureau is
reminding residents to
change the batteries in
their smoke detectors.
Communities nation-
wide witness tragic home
fire deaths each year. An
average of three children a
day die in home fires and
according to the National
Fire Protection Associa-
tion, half of all fatal home
fires occur in the small
number of homes without
working smoke detectors.
The most commonly
cited cause of non-working
smoke detectors: worn or
missing batteries.
Changing smoke de-
tector batteries at least
once a year is one of the
simplest, most effective
ways to reduce tragic
deaths and injuries. In fact,
working, working smoke
detectors nearly cut in half
the risk of dying in a home
fire. Additionally, the In-
ternational Association of
Fire Chiefs recommends
replacing your smoke de-
tectors every 10 years.
“The peak time for
home fire fatalities is be-
tween 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
when most families are
sleeping,” says Scott Wil-
liams, Fire Prevention spe-
cialist. “Smoke detector
maintenance is a simple
effective way to reduce
home fire deaths Children
and senior citizens are
most at risk, and a working
smoke detector can give
them the extra seconds
they need to get out safely.
In addition, residents
who have a smoke detector
that is equipped with a 10-
year Lithium battery do
not need to change out the
battery. This is only for
smoke detectors what are
equipped with a standard
9-volt battery.
GPDPS Fire Preven-
tion Bureau recommends
residents who have a
smoke detector that is
older than 10 years to re-
place it with a new smoke
detector.
