Smoke Detectors: Your First Line of Defense


Is a smoke detector really necessary in your home?  Absolutely!  Smoke detectors are proven lifesavers.  More fatal fires occur at night when people are sleeping.  Fire produces toxic gases which can numb your senses and prevent you from reacting to a fire in your home.

Installation:

  • Install a smoke detector on each level of your home.
  • The detector should be centrally located between the bedrooms.
  • If there is more than one sleeping area, place smoke detector outside each sleeping area.
