WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY
• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies
are capable of protecting about half of the occupants in potentially
fatal fi res. Victims are often intimate with the fi re, too old or too
young, or physically or mentally impaired such that they cannot
escape even when warned early enough that escape should be
possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-
place or assisted escape or rescue would be necessary.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of the specifi ed type,
in good condition and installed properly.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make sure the batteries
and the alarm circuits are in good operating condition.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an alarm if smoke does not reach the
detector. Therefore, smoke alarms may not sense fi res starting in
chimneys, walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or on a
different fl oor.
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on a different
fl oor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may not awaken all
sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals
in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide
assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound or
those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one's ability to hear the
smoke alarm. For maximum protection, a smoke alarm should be
installed in each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by providing an early
warning of a fi re, they are not a substitute for an insurance policy.
Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to
protect their properties.
FAMILY ESCAPE PLAN
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there often
is very little time between the detection of a fi re and the time it
becomes deadly. This interval can be as little as 1 or 2 minutes. Planning
and practicing for fi re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from the
residence are important. Drills should be held so that all family members
know the action to be taken.
SAFETY TIPS
• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all
doors and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home.
