Reminder: Test Your Home Smoke Alarms

The Coppell Fire Department and Life Safety Park want to remind you to test your home smoke alarms each month. 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 and fire spread fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out.

- Test your smoke alarms at least once a month. Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working.
- 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.
- Replace all smoke alarms in your home every 10 years.
- Teach family members that when a smoke alarm sounds, go outside and stay outside.
- A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. Sleep with bedroom doors closed, and close doors behind you in the event of an evacuation.

Visit the National Fire Protection Association for more information about the installation and maintenance of home smoke alarms.
