AC powered alarms (without battery backup) will not operate if
the AC power has been cut off, such as by an electrical fire or
an open fuse.
Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the
batteries and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach
the alarm. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fires starting
in chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door
or on a different floor.
If the alarm is located outside the bedroom or on a different
floor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one’s ability to hear
the smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm
should be installed in each sleeping area on every level of a
home.
Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early
warning of a fire, they are not a substitute for an insurance
policy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insur-
ance to protect their lives and property.
10. GOOD SAFETY HABITS
DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE
Install and maintain Fire extinguishers on every level of the home
and in the kitchen, basement and garage. Know how to use a
fire extinguisher prior to an emergency.
Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least
two (2) escape routes from each room. Second story windows
may need a rope or chain ladder.
Have a family meeting and discuss your escape plan, showing
everyone what to do in case of fire.
Determine a place outside your home where you all can meet if
a fire occurs.
Familiarize everyone with the sound of the smoke alarm and
train them to leave your home when they hear it.
Practice a fire drill at least every six months, including fire drills
at night. Ensure that small children hear the alarm and wake
