This is Fire Prevention Week and the Findlay Fire Department is urging you to – not only make sure you have smoke detectors in your home – but to make sure they are working.
Fire Inspector Eric Wilkins tells WFIN News that working smoke detectors save lives.
Here are some more tips from the Findlay Fire Department about smoke detectors.
- Test your smoke detectors monthly. Take a second to hit the test button and listen for the beep!
- Smoke detectors have an expiration date! Check the back of your detectors and if it ten years or older it’s time to replace them!
- Make sure your detectors are in the proper place. One on every floor of your home, in every bedroom and between your living and sleeping spaces!
The Findlay Fire Department will have more safety tips throughout the week on its Facebook page.
