The national Smoke Alarm Day is held every year on 1 December. Only a working smoke alarm will save lives. Follow these steps to take care of your home’s smoke alarms:

• Check that your smoke alarm is working: press the test button on the alarm regularly, such as on the first day of every month.
• Replace the battery’s alarm once a year, for example on the Smoke Alarm Day on 1 December.
• Remember to also replace the smoke alarm every 5 to 10 years. A smoke alarm has a limited useful life, just like all electrical appliances. An old smoke alarm may not necessarily detect smoke, even if the alarm sound is working.
