Did you know your bedroom door is part of your home’s fire protection? This is why it’s important to sleep with your bedroom
door closed.

A picture is worth a thousand words. We always emphasize the importance of closing your bedroom doors when you go to sleep. Even these cheap six panel hollow core doors will buy you time in a fire. Look at how no smoke or heat made it into the bedroom. Now look in the hallway! Also look where the most damage is… Up high. This is why we preach to get down low if you have smoke or fire in your home. Practice that home escape plan and Close Before You Doze!!!!

🚨 Hello and Happy August 1st!
It’s me—your friend, the smoke alarm! 📢 I know life’s about to get hectic with the kids heading back to school, but I need just a minute of your time.

✅ Press my test button to make sure I’m working.
✅ Check my expiration date—if I’m 10 years old (or older) or not working, it’s time to replace me and any of my smoke alarm friends in your home.

Think of it just like picking up school supplies 🎒—a working smoke alarm is a must-have for your family’s safety.

I’m here for you 24/7/365, keeping watch while you sleep, work, and play. Start the new month and school year with a quick fire safety check and a family fire drill. 🔥👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Stay safe,
Your Smoke Alarm ❤️
