Facts About Smoke Alarms
Protect yourself and your family.
Install smoke alarms - it's the law. The Ontario Fire Code requires that every home have working smoke alarms. Smoke alarms save lives.
Most fatal fires occur at night when people are asleep. Often, victims never wake up. A working smoke alarm will detect smoke and sound an alarm to alert you, giving you precious time to escape. Buying the best alarm.
There are many types of smoke alarms, each with different features. Alarms can be electrically connected, battery powered or a combination of both. This combination - and a pause feature to reduce nuisance alarms - are highly recommended. Source: www.firesafetycouncil.com/
