Smoke Alarms Cut Your Risk in Half

Working smoke alarms reduce your risk of dying in a home fire by roughly 50%. Test your alarms monthly, replace batteries at least once a year, and replace the entire unit every 10 years. If you hear that chirping sound, change the battery immediately — do not ignore it.

Fire Extinguishers Have a Shelf Life

Most home fire extinguishers are good for 5 to 12 years, but they lose pressure over time. Check the gauge monthly to make sure it is in the green zone. If the needle is in the red or the extinguisher is expired, replace it. Remember the acronym PASS: Pull the pin, Aim at the base, Squeeze the handle, Sweep side to side.
