Smoke alarms save lives. Did you know that your sense of smell does not work while you are asleep and that a fire probably won’t wake you? If you have no smoke alarms make sure you install them. We also advise you to find out about safe escape routes, both inside and outside the home.
Are you planning to install smoke alarms? The best places to put them are:
in the corridor between the kitchen and the living room
on each floor of the house
on the ceiling
more than 50 centimetres away from the side walls and corners of the room
Take note that the battery of a smoke alarm lasts for about a year, so test them regularly. Make sure the smoke alarm is kept dust free.
