Eighty-three percent of all civilian fire-related deaths are a result of home fires, and on average, nearly three children a day die in these fires. By providing an early warning and critical extra seconds to escape, smoke alarms double your family’s chance of getting out of a home fire alive – but only if they work.
So, when you turn your clocks back on October 29th, make a lifesaving change in your household – change the batteries in your smoke alarms. This simple habit takes just a moment, but is the best defense your family has against the devastating effects of a home fire.
Please forward this message to your friends and family so that they too can make the simple change that could save their lives.
This reminder to Change Your Clock Change Your Battery comes from The City of Alpharetta Fire Prevention Office, Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs.
