Changing your Smoke Detector Batteries Could Save Your Life

September 25, 2018

How important is it to make sure your smoke detectors are working properly? Taking a few moments to check that all the batteries are new and connected properly could save your life one day. Here is why…

A smoke detector is lit up and smoke is coming out of it.

According the National Fire Protection Association:

  • 59% of home fire deaths occur due to NO SMOKE DETECTOR or due to NO WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS.

That statistic is staggering! A small thing like making sure you have fresh batteries that are properly connected, could save the life of you or your loved ones. This is even more important since 50% of all fatal home fires occur while people are SLEEPING!
