The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one's
ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in

Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make
sure the batteries and the alarm circuit are in good
operating condition.

Family Escape Plan: According to National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very
little time between the detection of a fire and the
time it becomes deadly. This interval can be as
little as one or two minutes. Planning and practicing
for fire conditions with a focus on rapid exit from
the residence are important. Drills should be held
so that all family members know the action to be
taken.
