SMOKE ALARMS

THE BEST PLACE FOR YOUR SMOKE ALARMS:

sound
TO PREVENT NUISANCE ALARMS:
- clean the alarm following the manufacturer's instructions
- move the alarm away from the kitchen or bathroom
- get a different type of smoke alarm, like a photoelectric that's
less sensitive to common causes of false alarms OR
- choose a smoke alarm that has a silencing feature, so nuisance
alarms can be stopped quickly and easily
KNOW HOW TO ESCAPE:
- always help those who need help
- plan your escape route and practice leaving your home
