From the Pennsylvania Office of the State Fire Commissioner Make it a fall back tradition! Change your clocks + change your alarm batteries this weekend. Working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. More tips:... Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home. A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Test all smoke alarms at least once a month by pressing the test button. It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound. People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use alarms with strobe lights and bed shakers. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3mIscq5 . #BeFireSafePA
