- Install smoke alarms to help protect your home and family.
- Placement of smoke alarms is important - Mount smoke alarms in the middle of the ceiling when ceiling mounted. If that is not possible, mount detectors on the wall at least three feet away from a corner and within 12 inches from the ceiling.
- Maintain your smoke alarms to ensure they are operating properly - The NFPA recommends testing your smoke alarms at least once a month to ensure they are working and replace the batteries every 6 months or if a low battery chirp occurs
