The time change serves as a reminder to test your smoke alarms and change the batteries, too. Working smoke alarms can mean the difference between life and death when it comes to house fires. Each year 3,000 people die in residential fires in the United States. "While smoke alarms save lives, they must be properly maintained and tested so they'll work in case of a fire," Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti said. Many homes have smoke alarms that aren't working or maintained properly, usually because of missing, disconnected or dead batteries. Through funding by the Sheriff's Foundation of Broward County, residents can get a free 9-volt smoke alarm battery in exchange for an old one by contacting the Broward Sheriff Fire Marshal's Bureau at 954-831-8210. Free smoke alarms are also available to residents by contacting the life safety educators at the bureau. Some tips for smoke alarm maintenance from Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): • Test smoke alarms at least once a month and clean the units in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Children are heavy sleepers. If you have children, you may want to test the unit when they're sleeping to see if it will wake them in case of a fire. • Replace the batteries in your smoke alarms twice a year when you change your clocks in the fall and spring. Consider using long-life (10-year) batteries now available for smoke alarms. • Install smoke alarms on every level of your house, making sure there is an alarm outside every sleeping area. If you sleep with the door closed, install smoke alarms inside the room. Interconnect all smoke alarms so when one sounds, they will all sound. New homes are required to have smoke alarms in all sleeping rooms, according to the National Fire Alarm Code. • An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms, or a combination alarm (photoelectric and ionization), are recommended. • Install smoke alarms following manufacturer's instructions high on a wall or on a ceiling. Don't install smoke alarms near windows, outside doors or ducts where drafts might interfere with their operation, and don't paint smoke alarms. Paint or other decorations could keep them from working properly. • Smoke alarms don't last forever. Replace your smoke alarms every 10 years. Be sure the smoke alarm you buy carries the label of an independent testing lab. Make sure everyone in your home can hear and recognize the sound of the alarm and knows how to react immediately.
