► What is the best type of fire extinguisher for my home? |
| A multi-purpose fire extinguisher is best for the home. Look for the rating to be at least 2A 10B C on the label. This extinguisher can be used on any type of fire commonly found in the home. (It will often be labeled A-B-C.) It is recommended that an extinguisher be installed in the kitchen and in the garage. |

► How do I know if my smoke alarm is working properly? How long do batteries last in a smoke alarm? |
| We recommend that you test your smoke alarm monthly by pushing the test button. Batteries should be replaced every year, and usually the smoke alarm provides an audible indication (a chirp) when the batteries become weak. Smoke alarms that are not "hard-wired" generally have a 10-year life expectancy and then should be replaced. If you need help with replacement of batteries or the smoke alarm itself, give us a call! |
