Smoke
Detectors Save Lives – When They Work
A working smoke alarm can mean the
difference between life and death. Smoke alarms are designed to wake you up in
the event a fire starts in your home. If a smoke alarm is working, it will
provide the necessary warning and the time needed to escape from your home and
away from the fire.
In
A smoke alarm can only protect you if
it is working. By maintaining smoke alarms, you can cut your risk of dying in a
home fire by as much as half.
Make certain your smoke alarms work
when you need them. Follow these steps:
• Install
smoke alarms near all of the sleeping areas in the home. Smoke alarms are
designed for one function: to wake people up in the event of a fire during the
night.
• Check
smoke alarms on a regular basis to make certain they still work. Although smoke
alarms are in 92 percent of American homes, nearly one-third do not work because
of worn or missing batteries.
• Change
your smoke alarm's batteries once a year. Changing these batteries once a year
is one of the simplest, most effective ways to reduce your risk of suffering a
death or injury from a fire in your home.
For more information about fire
prevention, call the Cary Fire Department at (919) 460-4958.
Whether you are on the road or calling
from home, it is important to remember that 911 is always the number to dial
when you have an emergency.
In the past, some citizens have dialed
*CP (*27) from their mobile phone to reach
During an emergency, every moment
counts—don’t waste time trying to remember other numbers. 911 is always the
number of choice.
