  Properly Installed and Maintained Smoke Detectors Help Save Lives

  By providing an early warning in the event of fire, smoke detectors may allow you and your family sufficient time to reach safety. Tampa Firefighters Local 754 offers the following tips for installing and maintaining smoke detectors:

 
bulletInstall UL Listed smoke detectors outside each bedroom and sleeping area and on each additional level of your home -- including the basement.
bulletWhen installing your smoke detectors, read and follow the manufacturer's instructions exactly. If you need any additional information or advice, contact your local fire department for assistance.
bulletTo keep them in good working order, test, clean and maintain your smoke detectors as instructed in the owner's manual. Testing also familiarizes you and your family with your units' alarms, helping you to recognize their emergency signals. Cleaning helps eliminate dust that collects on smoke detectors and causes false alarms.
bulletTypically, battery-operated detectors should be tested every week; detectors wired into your home's electrical system should be tested monthly.
