Don't forget to check your smoke detectors

We are now entering the peak season for using candles and various types of electric lights, which increases the risk of fires. Yesterday, this was highlighted by Smoke Detector Day, a reminder of the importance of functioning smoke detectors. Having the right equipment in place can be crucial in preventing serious consequences in the event of a fire.

A few important points to remember:

• It is recommended to have a smoke detector on each floor if your home has multiple levels.
• Make sure the smoke detector is installed in the right place.

If you haven’t already done it, set aside some time this afternoon or evening to test your smoke detectors, replace batteries if needed, and check whether you might need to buy new smoke detectors – it’s an inexpensive life insurance.

Working smoke detectors can save your and your family’s lives!
