Denver relies on us to mitigate fire damage!

Minimize the Risk

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), smoke alarms are an important part of a fire escape plan and can give you early warning so you can get out quickly. SERVPRO® of Denver North responds to fire damage emergencies in the Skyland and Denver area often, and offer these smoke alarm safety tips from the NFPA:

• Install smoke alarms in every bedroom and the basement. They should also be outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home.
• Large homes may need extra smoke alarms.
• It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms. When one smoke alarm sounds, they all sound.
• Test all smoke alarms at least once a month.
• Today’s smoke alarms will be more technologically advanced to respond to a multitude of fire conditions yet mitigate false alarms.
• A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove.
• People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms. These alarms have strobe lights and bed shakers.
• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
