Smoke Alarms: No Battery, No Chance!

The Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council: Public Service Announcement (PSA)

For immediate release

The Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council and your local fire department request that you announce the following important message during your broadcast.

Smoke Alarms: No Battery, No Chance!

If a fire occurred in your home, would your smoke alarms work? Don’t wait for a fire to find out. Smoke alarms can alert you and your family and give you the precious seconds you need to escape.

Make sure your smoke alarms are in good working order. Test your alarms every month by pressing the test button or cover until the alarm sounds. For battery-operated alarms, change the batteries at least once a year or whenever the low-battery warning chirps. Don’t remove the batteries for any other reason.

Remember: NO BATTERY, NO CHANCE.
