Test Your Smoke Alarms
Voice Over: Length 30 seconds

Smoke alarms are lifesavers--but only if they work. Your fire department reminds you to test your smoke alarms each month by pushing the alarm test button. If you have difficulty reaching your alarms, use a broom handle or a cane to gently press the test button for 30 seconds. If the alarm doesn't sound, replace the battery or the alarm immediately. Remember, only a working smoke alarm can save your life.
