Smoke Alarm Challenge

REPLACESMOKEALARMSEVERY10 YEARS

PARENTS, AS PART OF FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, your child has been learning about smoke alarms. Having smoke alarms in your home is very important. Smoke alarms let you know there is a fire. Working smoke alarms also give you time to get outside and stay outside if there is a fire.

Smoke alarms don’t last forever. Every 10 years you need new ones. When they are 10 years old, they don’t sense smoke as well. With your child, look at the date on the back of all the smoke alarms in your home.This is also a good time to push the test button on all smoke alarms,and make sure theyare working.

Desafío de alarmas de incendio

PADRES, COMO PARTE DE LA SEMANA DE PREVENCIÓN DEINCENDIOS, su hijo ha estado aprendiendo sobre alarmas de incendio. Es importante que tengan alarmas de incendio en su casa. Las alarmas de incendio les hacen saber que hay un incendio. Las alarmas de incendio que funcionan bien también les dan tiempo para salir al exterior y quedarse afuera si hay un incendio.

Las alarmas de incendio no duran para siempre. Necesitan renovarlas cada 10 años. Cuando tienen 10 años, no perciben el humo adecuadamente. Con su hijo, observen la fecha en la parte trasera de las alarmas de incendio de su casa. Esta también es una buena oportunidad parapresionar el botón de prueba que todas las alarmas que tienen, y asegurarse de quefuncionan correctamente.
