Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors save lives – but only if they are working properly.
• Have one smoke alarm on every level of your house.
• Remember, change your clocks – change your batteries.
• Use only batteries recommended by the manufacturer of the alarm or detector.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors monthly.
• Clean your alarms and detectors frequently by gently vacuuming them.
• Check with your local municipality for carbon monoxide by-law requirements
