Wake up! Get a Smoke Alarm!
Many fires in the home are caused by a single moment of carelessness and could be easily prevented. It is important to be aware of possible fire hazards around the home and to take steps to protect you and your family from fire.
Smoke alarms detect smoke at the earliest stages of a fire, giving you vital extra time to escape. Ensuring you have a working smoke alarm fitted is an important precaution to protect your home and family from fire.
Fit alarms on every level of your home – remember to test the batteries every week and never remove the batteries. Also remember not to put alarms in kitchens or bathrooms where smoke and steam could accidentally set them off.
Smoke alarms for people with hearing impairment
For people who would not be able to hear a conventional smoke alarm there are special devices available which make use of a vibrating pad or flashing light instead of the auditory signal - the vibrating pad alarms are particularly useful for deaf-blind people.
