Fire Safety Basics

Test Your Smoke Alarms Regularly

Check your smoke alarms at least once a month to ensure they are working correctly. Replace batteries twice a year, and replace the entire unit every 10 years.

Clean Your Kitchen Hood and Vents

Grease buildup in kitchen hoods and vents is a leading cause of kitchen fires. Schedule regular cleaning to minimize this risk.
