Tacoma Fire Department urges you to check your smoke alarm
batteries when you set your clocks back for Daylight Savings time this weekend.
Smoke alarms most often fail because of missing, dead or disconnected batteries, so maintenance is a simple and effective way to protect your family and reduce home fire deaths.
For best protection, it is recommended that you install alarms utilizing both ionization and photoelectric technology and that have long life 10 year lithium ion batteries.
Visit the United States FireAdministration and National Fire Protection Association for additional information regarding smoke alarm types, installation, maintenance and safety.
