🔔Don't ignore the beeps, peeps!
This week is #ElectricalFireSafetyWeek - a national campaign raising awareness of fire risks in the home, and how small actions can save lives.
Smoke alarms send out a shrill shriek when we 'press to test' - or they go off for real.
But what about the faint 'chirp' they sometimes emit? It's MEANT to be annoying, because it's a life-saving warning. It's your smoke alarm's way of saying: "Please replace my battery, so I can keep you safe."
Homes without working smoke alarms are ELEVEN TIMES more likely to have a fatal fire than homes with an alarm that works.
Simple steps to stay safe:
✔️test all your smoke alarms today (and regularly)
✔️change the batteries if needed
✔️react to the beep - fix it! |
