Working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are essential for keeping your home and family safe. They provide early warning in the event of a fire or dangerous carbon monoxide buildup, giving you critical time to escape or take action.
Smoke alarms should be installed inside and outside each bedroom and sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. When possible, interconnected alarms are recommended so that when one sounds, they all sound. Smoke alarms should be tested monthly and replaced every 10 years.
The Snyder Fire Department supports residents by providing education, guidance, and assistance to help ensure these life-saving devices are properly installed and maintained.
