Installation of Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors
American Red Cross
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors or alarms are early warning systems to give you and your family time to escape should a fire or leak start in your home. Fire and leaks move fast and every second counts. Every home should have at least one working detector per floor, per living space. If this doesn’t describe your home it’s time to make a change.
The American Red Cross and Fayetteville Fire and EMS are making homes safer through the Home Fire Campaign. We will install FREE smoke alarms and educating people about fire safety. Fill out the form below to schedule your appointment.
Here’s what you need to know!
- A closed-door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home.
- Smoke alarms should be interconnected. When one sounds, they all sound.
- Large homes may need extra smoke alarms.
- Test your smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.
- Today’s smoke alarms will be more technologically advanced to respond to a multitude of fire conditions, yet mitigate false alarms.
- When a smoke alarm sounds, get outside and stay outside.
- Replace all smoke alarms in your home every 10 years.
Smoke alarms save lives. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.
