Why Are Smoke Alarms So Important?

Did you know that nearly three out of five home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms? That’s a statistic from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) that’s worth paying attention to.

But fear not, because we’re here to help you turn your home into a fortress of safety — one beep at a time! And that starts with making sure you have working smoke alarms on every level of your home including the basement, hallways and both inside and outside each sleeping area.

To keep your entire home safer, consider Kidde’s interconnected alarms. These savvy hardwired devices offer whole home activation — when one alarm sounds, they all join in! That means if a smoke alarm in the kitchen decides to sound (maybe your cooking experiment didn’t go as planned), you’ll hear it no matter where you are in the house.

Whether you’re upstairs binge-watching shows — or enjoying some downtime in the living room — you’ll always be alerted to potential danger.

No matter which alarms you choose, remember to test them weekly — it only takes a few seconds! And don’t forget to replace your smoke alarms every 5-10 years.
