Tips and Facts About Smoke Alarms

Don't think it can't happen to you

  • Fire is the third leading cause of accidental death in the home. There are over 2 million fires reported each year.
  • Over 36,000 Americans will die each year in home fires, and an additional 18,650 will be injured.
  • Over the course of an average lifetime, the odds are approximately 1 in 250 that it could happen to you.
  • Property damage from fire exceeds $4 billion annually. Over 414,000 homes will be damaged or destroyed by fire each year.
  • According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), while 94% of U.S. homes have smoke alarms, more than 33% of these alarms do not work due to dead, missing or disconnected batteries.
 

Smoke Alarm Tips
Alarms should be installed in every room of the house including basements and finished attics, in each bedroom and hallways outside of every sleeping area, and at the top and bottom of stairways. In a fire, seconds count. The closer a smoke alarm is to a fire's origin, the earlier it will sound and the more time a person has to get out safely. Alarms should be replaced every 10 years. Alarms monitor the home every minute of every day and their life span is not infinite. If you do not know how old your smoke alarm is, you should replace it.Test your smoke alarm frequently and replace the batteries as needed. Gently dust your smoke alarm monthly to prevent dirt from blocking the sensor. Do not disable a smoke alarm in nuisance situations. Do not "borrow" smoke alarm batteries for other uses such as toys or radios.

Types of Smoke Alarms
There are two types of smoke alarm sensor technology: photoelectric and ionization. Ionization alarms are better at detecting flaming fire conditions, such as paper fires and those fed by flammable fluids.  Photoelectric alarms are better at detecting smoldering smoke conditions, such as bedding and upholstery fires that often kill sleepers. For maximum protection, install a mix of photoelectric and ionization smoke alarms or dual sensor alarms with both photoelectric and ionization technology, which may provide the best opportunity of detecting either smoldering or fast flaming fires. In addition to the proper number and placement of Smoke & Fire Alarms,also install the proper number of Carbon Monoxide Detectors, based on the size and configuration of your home. See our information links for specific placement.
