“Smoke alarms both in homes and businesses, help save lives during potentially tragic fires every year. Though most people have alarms scattered throughout their property, many may not be aware of the proper procedures for maintaining their smoke alarms:

1. Make sure the batteries in your smoke detector are charged or replaced if necessary.
2. In standard battery powered alarms, replace the batteries once a year
3. If the alarm goes off while cooking, do not remove the batteries; fan away smoke with a towel”
