Fire Safety: The Importance of Working Smoke Alarms

Did you know that three out of five home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms? A smoke alarm is your first line of defense, giving you and your loved ones precious minutes to escape.

The East Point Public Safety Foundation encourages every family to:

• Test alarms monthly

• Replace batteries once a year (or install 10-year sealed alarms)

• Install alarms in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on each level of your home

  
  

A small step today could save a life tomorrow. Protect your family, protect your home — check your smoke alarms.
