Smoke Detectors Save Lives!
You have only minutes to escape during a fire. Working smoke alarms save lives.
More than 2,200 people die each year because of unintentional home fires. Almost two-thirds of these fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or with smoke alarms that don’t work. A smoke alarm’s warning can cut the risk of dying from a fire in your home by almost half.
