October Is Fire Prevention Month Now is a perfect time to talk about the biggest thing you can do to protect
yourself and your family from fire. Make sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. If your home
has no smoke detectors, or if you are unsure of the placement of the ones you have, keep in mind the recommended
minimum is one detector per floor. However current National Fire Prevention Association guidelines require that, in
addition to one per floor, all bedrooms should have their own. If you would like information on placement, you can
check out the NFPA’s website at NFPA.org.
Some smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are battery powered, and some are wired directly into your
homes power. Either way, they have a life span of no more than 10 years, so if you can’t remember when you installed
them you should check them out. There should be a date of manufacture printed on them, if they are 10 years old or
more, they should be replaced.
The batteries still need to be changed at least once per year. Some people recommend changing them when you set
your clocks back for daylight saving time since that is a good reminder every year, or you can change them every
October for fire prevention month.
If you need any help with your smoke detectors, or anything emergency related, please call us at the fire station at (563)
355-2211, and we would be glad to help. Remember we are a volunteer department, so it may be a day or so before we
can get back to you. If it is an actual emergency, please call 911.
