Reminder from the Freehold Borough Fire Department

It is time to replace batteries in all smoke alarms as well as carbon monoxide (CO) alarms when you change your clocks this weekend.
 
Additional Recommendations on Smoke Alarms:

• Test smoke alarms once a month.
• Replace batteries in all smoke alarms & CO alarms twice a year.
• Don’t “borrow” or remove batteries from smoke & CO alarms even temporarily.
• Regularly vacuum or dust smoke & CO alarms to keep them working properly.
• Replace smoke alarms every 10 years or as often as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Practice family fire drills so everyone knows what to do if the smoke or CO alarm goes off.

Additional information can be found by opening the two attachments included in this email.
