Check Your Smoke Alarm's Age for Safety.

Staff Report / apexlocal.org

Residents are encouraged to check the back of their smoke alarms to determine their age during Fire Prevention Week. This initiative emphasizes the importance of ensuring smoke alarms are functional and up-to-date to enhance home fire safety. For further information, individuals can visit fpw.org.
