The Fire Prevention Division encourages all our residents to stay prepared for home fires and know what to do. We've put together as many tips as possible here on this site, but there are always more brochures and educational videos available through our offices. If we can ever be of service, please don't hesitate to call on us.
Replace batteries in smoke detectors at least once a year. And replace the entire unit after ten years of service, or as the manufacturer recommends. Also, remember that dust and dirt are bad for smoke detectors, clean them with a vacuum hose.
