Was given a good bit of advice when doing my Fire Warden training.
Always check your alarms and change your batteries every year, and a good date for doing that is November 5th. Not a date you can easily forget. |

Yes check you alarm monthly, even weekly, but change your batteries once a year regardless. |

Been reading the posts, glad to see your all trying to do what is right.
Clean using vac once a week
Test every week
Battery every year
And if you are not sure get number for local fire station and ask the question. They have been calling around here over the last few months offering fire safety checks, god bless them |
