#31: Have you Changed Your Batteries Recently?
So many homes each year are saved due to the use of smoke alarms. There should be a smoke alarm on every floor of your home including your basement and/or attic. You should also have one in all bedrooms or outside a bedroom door.
It’s not only important to have smoke detectors all around your house, but you have to make sure they’re also all functioning. You should test your smoke detectors often and change out the batteries when needed. Dispose of and replace all detectors every 10 years even if they seem to be functioning properly.
