RemindS You That
Smoke Detectors Save Lives!

Every year nearly 3,000 Americans die in home fires. Last year, more than 100 of those were Ohioans. More than 75% of Ohio’s fatal fires occur in homes without Working smoke alarms.  Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a fire by half.  Fires double in size every 45 to 60 seconds…the best chance for escape is with a smoke alarm’s early warning. In Ohio, cooking is the leading cause of residential fires and smoking is the leading cause of residential fire deaths. Smoke detectors must be working to save lives. Families should test alarms monthly, replace batteries twice a year, and replace the smoke detectors every 10 years. In need of a Smoke detector or have questions about placement contact your local fre department TODAY!!
