Ensure your home is fully protected by installing smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level—including the basement. Opt for battery-powered interconnected alarms, so if one goes off, they all do. #FirePreventionWeek

Important Smoke Alarm Safety Tips! Keep your home and loved ones safe with these simple steps: #firesafety #smokealarmssavelives #fireprevention

🚨 Accidental set-offs from cooking or steam can be frustrating, but removing smoke alarm batteries leaves you unprotected when it really counts. Take a moment to test your smoke alarms monthly and ensure they’re always ready to do their job.

🚨 This #FirePreventionWeek, make sure your smoke alarms are always ready to protect you! Test monthly, replace the batteries annually or follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. And remember—after 10 years, it’s time for a new smoke alarm.

Did you know a working smoke alarm is your first line of defence against deadly fires? 🔥🚨 Over 600 structural fires were reported in BC last year alone. Test monthly. Replace your batteries. And help save lives.

Fire Prevention Week™ runs from October 6-12. This year's theme is "Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work For You!" The @BCBurnFund has teamed up with the @FSJFirefighters and will be sharing important safety tips all week long. Help us spread awareness!
