Your home is protected when a smoke detector is installed!
We all want to feel safe in our home – sometimes all that’s needed is a small smoke detector that will alert us in time and can save lives.
Why is it important to install a smoke detector?
A smoke detector already issues an alert in the first stage of a fire, even before the fire spreads – and thus provides precious time to save lives and property.
What are the Fire and Rescue Authority’s recommendations?
Use approved detectors (approved by the Israeli Standards Institute).
Install smoke detectors in every room of the house, and especially in bedrooms and in hallways leading to them.
Also install detectors in rooms with large electrical appliances, such as televisions and computers.
Place the detectors in the center of the room, away from air conditioning vents and fans, which may disperse the smoke.
Maintenance – small but important tips:
• Smoke detectors are easy to maintain and install. Once a month check that the detector works – press the test button
• Replace batteries when needed, or ensure backup in case of power outage
• Clean the detector at least once a year, vacuum the accumulated dust
• Replace the smoke detector every 10 years
To sum up, make a small investment – reap a great deal of protection. Install the detector, check that it works and protect yourselves and your home.
