It is just about that time to check your smoke detectors to make sure they still work. Many models have used those 9 volt batteries and need to be replaced once or even twice a year. Newer models have a 10 year battery in them, which tends to forgetting all about them. Check them. Hit the test button. Make sure they work. They really are one of the main reasons people survive a house fire. Many examples can be found right here in Rockaway Beach where a house fire without a smoke detector has cost the life of the occupant. If you need help reaching or replacing a detector, one of the volunteers at the fire station can help. Stop by the station. Look around.
We are here to help.
