Bedroom Safety Tips

Install UL Listed smoke detectors and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms outside every sleeping area and near fuel-burning appliances.

Install fresh batteries in your smoke detectors and CO alarms at least once a year.

Develop and practice a fire escape plan for your household. Every family member should know at least two ways out of each room.

Test your smoke detectors and CO alarms regularly and clean them as indicated in the use and care booklet. Hard-wired units, those permanently wired into your home's electrical system, should be tested monthly. Battery-operated units should be tested weekly.
