HOME SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU!
What types of smoke alarms are
available?
•
•
•
•
Ionization: Quicker at sensing flaming, fast
moving fires.
Photoelectric: Quicker at sensing smoldering
fires
Combination or dual sensor: These have ion-
ization and photoelectric sensors in one unit to
sense flaming and smoldering fires
Smoke/carbon monoxide: Activated by smoke
or carbon monoxide
Visual (dual light) and tactile (shaker): For the
dear and those hard of hearing.\
Why should my home have smoke
alarms?
•
•
Most fire deaths are caused by smoke –
not flames
•
Most fire deaths and injuries occur between
midnight and 8 a.m. when families are
asleep
How do I keep my smoke alarm work-
ing?
•
Seconds count! You only have minutes to
escape a house fire
•
The earlier a smoke alarm alerts you to a
fire, the more likely you will get out alive
•
•
•
•
•
Where do I install smoke alarms?
•
On each level of y our home
•
Outside each sleeping area
•
Inside each bedroom
•
Test smoke alarms monthly
Vacuum smoke alarms regularly to remove dust
and cobwebs
Never disconnect or remove smoke alarm bat-
teries for other uses
Ionization powered with 10year batteries –
replace the entire unit every 8-10 years
Photoelectric and combination – replace the
batteries at least once per year, and replace the
entire unit every 8-10 years
Hard-wired with battery backup – replace batter-
ies at least once per year, and replace the
