Fire won't wait for you, it spreads fast and working smoke alarms can buy you the extra time you may need to escape safely.
Test your alarms monthly and replace any alarms over 10 years old!
#firesafefriday #fmpfsc

The lifespan of a smoke alarm is 10 years. Even hardwired smoke alarms need replacing every decade to ensure they are working properly.
Only working smoke alarms can keep your family safe.
#firesafefridays #fmpfsc

Do the best you can for your family and install smoke alarms on every storey of your house and outside all sleeping areas.
Only working alarms save lives, so ensure you test your alarms every month and protect the people you care about the most.
