USFA also aim to reverse amend
smoke detectors. “Nearly 86 percent
of homes m fee United Stares have
smoke detectors - the problem is
wife people maintaining them,” said
USFAAiriinanAihmairtnnnrlamrii
Coyle. “It’s tragic to see so many
deaths occur in homes where
firefighters are able to look right at
the wall or ceiling and see fee detec-
tor m plain view, only to open it and
find fee batteries mitring or wires
The best way to ensure fee effec-
tiveness of fee detectors is to test fee
batteries monthly and change them at
least twice a year. A working smoke
detector feiubifi&apcntm'schanoe of
surviving a fire.
