Many lives have been devastated by a fire. It can destroy property and even take lives, so naturally you would want to do everything you can to keep your family safe. This might not be clearly in your mind, however, if you have a smoke detector that is chirping because of low battery. Unfortunately, the solution for most people to this problem is simply to take out the battery, and this has led to families being unprotected when a fire starts. Always replace the batteries immediately.
You should have a working smoke alarm outside of every bedroom in your home, to make sure that residents wake up as soon as possible if a fire starts. There should also be at least one on every floor of your home. You should test their functionality regularly by pressing the test button.
If you have any type of flammable materials in your home, they should be stored in a fireproof cabinet with a fire alarm nearby.
