(From the Findlay Fire Department)

Hey Findlay! It’s Fire Prevention Week and this years theme is “Smoke Alarms, Make Them Work For You.”

Fire Inspector Eric Wilkins with the Findlay Fire Department shares some potentially life-saving fire safety tips.

How do you make sure your smoke alarm will work for you?

1st Check the date on the back of the detector.

If the detector is over 10 years old, it’s time to replace it!

2nd check the batteries by pushing the test button.

If it beeps, your batteries are good!

3rd design and practice an escape plan.

Know what to do when your smoke detector alarms!

Be safe everyone!
