With the colder months upon us, it's crucial to ensure that your home or rental property is equipped with the necessary safety measures to protect you and your loved ones from potential fire hazards. Keep in mind, if you are a registered rental property owner, please practice these safety measures as well.
Please take a moment to ensure that each level of your home or rental property, including bedrooms and hallways, is equipped with a working smoke alarm. Test the alarms monthly and replace the smoke alarm if it is more than 10 years old with a new smoke alarm that has a sealed 10-year battery. Click here for more information on smoke alarms from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can be lethal. Ensure that your home or rental property is equipped with carbon monoxide alarms, particularly near sleeping areas. Test these alarms monthly and replace the batteries annually. If you experience symptoms of CO poisoning, such as headaches, dizziness, or nausea, evacuate the premises immediately and contact 911.
