As you change your clocks backward, USA Fire Protection wants to remind you to change your smoke alarm batteries. According to the NFPA, 40% of home fires occur in homes without working smoke detectors, and 25% of home fire death resulted from smoke alarms with missing or dead batteries.
Smoke alarms provide you with an early warning and additional time to escape in the event of a fire. Not only do they provide an early warning, but they also increase your chance of surviving a fire by 50%.
