🎄12 Days of Holiday Fire & CO Safety: Day 3 Install and test smoke alarms.🔊 Having a working smoke alarm can give you precious time in case of a fire. Make sure to have an alarm on every floor, test them every month, and change the batteries once a year.

🎄12 Days of Holiday Fire & CO Safety: Day 4 Install and test carbon monoxide alarms.🚨 Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas that can cause flu-like symptoms. A CO alarm alerts you to a potential CO emergency with four beeps and is the best way to protect your family.
