The Big Test

Did you know that many people don’t test their smoke alarms as often as they should? When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast and fire doubles in size every 60 seconds. You need working smoke alarms to give you time to get out. Test yours every month!

From September 2nd to October 5th, you can take the “Smoke Alarm Pledge” which states that you will test each of your home’s smoke alarms each month to ensure they are working. And, by taking the Pledge, you will be entered into the NFPA, LEGOLAND Florida and LEGOLAND California Resort Sweepstakes.
Take the Smoke Alarm Pledge AND be entered into the NFPA sweepstakes to win a LEGOLAND Florida or Legoland California vacation for 4!

Fire Prevention Week in October reminds us that testing your smoke alarms once a month can save your family’s lives, but the safety of our family should be an everyday occurrence and not something that we focus upon once a year.

Think safe, be safe.
