Make Smoke Alarms Work For You

from The NFPA Podcast Hosted by Jesse Roman

This month, a comprehensive new survey on smoke alarm use in the U.S. found that 16 percent of households—as many as 53 million people—do not having working smoke alarms. The new report comes just in time for Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 6-12), which will focus on smoke alarm use and maintenance. On today's podcast, two NFPA experts discuss the findings of the new report, and why it is more critical than ever for residents to be educated about how to keep their smoke alarms working (3:04). Then, on a new Code Corner, engineer Shawn Mahoney tells us what the code says about where to locate smoke alarms in residential homes (33:27). LINKS: Visit the Fire Prevention Week 2024 homepage. Read the new U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission report on smoke and CO alarm usage in the U.S.
