First Alert Fire Safety Give Away

October among other things is Fire Safety Month. It’s a great time to recognize the importance of fire prevention and get together with you family to make a plan. First Alert would also like to remind you, to take the time to test your smoke detector and change the batteries.  A working smoke detector plays a huge part in leading your family to safety in those early moments of a fire. Fires can spread quickly and a smoke alarm can provide your family with those critical minutes (sometimes seconds) to get up and get out of the house.

Unfortunately far too often we find ourselves disabling our smoke alarms due to “nuisance alarms.” These occur some times because of a kitchen mishap burned dinner, or simply too much steam from the stove top. And I’m sure we have all dealt with the change the battery “chirp.” Even I am guilty of not just removing a battery a time or 2 but removing the entire unit because I just couldn’t get it to stop! Well First Alert would like to ask that we all think twice about disabling our alarms and have even come up with a solution and a few tips to share.

When it comes to your fire alarms you want proper alarm placement, regular maintenance and alarm replacement which are keys to evading the annoyance of nuisance alarms. According to Hanson, if you experience repeated false alarms, the problem could be solved by simply replacing with newer models, such as the First Alert Maximum Protection series of alarms, which feature breakthrough anti-nuisance technology. In case of false alarms, a mute button will temporarily silence alarm activation.

“Smoke alarms have a useful life of 10 years, on average, while CO alarms should be replaced after five to seven years,” noted Hanson. “If you cannot recall when your alarms were installed, it’s best to be safe and replace the units.”

First Alert wants you and your family to be safe especially this holiday season- marked by an increased use of stoves, ovens, fireplaces and other potentially CO-emitting heating sources – quickly approaches. Throughout the month of October, First Alert will be actively promoting these and other fire safety tips as part of its “Power Up!” Fire Prevention Month campaign. In conjunction with its retailers and fire services partners, the brand will host a series of public fire safety events across the country. Additionally, First Alert will give away more than 325 smoke alarms and four-packs of batteries through its “Power Up!” Facebook sweepstakes. For details or to enter, visit http://bit.ly/SdjUR1.
