A message from Pennsylvania State Fire Commissioner Bruce Trego about the importance of having working smoke alarms in your home:
“We want people to know just how critical a functional smoke alarm is to their family’s safety in the event of a home fire. Smoke alarms save lives, it’s that simple. Unfortunately, they are often overlooked or ignored until it’s too late. Test your smoke alarms monthly and replace the batteries regularly. Our state routinely ranks among the nation’s highest, in terms of deaths related to house fires, and they disproportionately affect older adults.”
