Did you know that smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years? This coming Daylight Savings weekend is a great time to see if you smoke alarms need to be replaced. If less than 10 years old, don't forget to change the battery!

CCFD responded to a structure fire on Tiger Drive, where it was noted there were no smoke alarms in the home and most of the windows were covered. The family was awake when the fire broke out and were able to escape unharmed-had they been asleep the incident would have been fatal

Smoke alarms in the home is one of the single most important fire safety features residents can have. We recommend a smoke alarm in each sleeping room, the hallway that adjoins the sleeping rooms, and one on each level of the home.

Have multiple ways out, blocking windows can cause people to become trapped. Those living on the 2nd floor of any dwelling are advised to keep a residential escape ladder. Info regarding smoke alarms and home escape planning: Carson City Fire Prevention Division at 775-887-2210.
