Fire
Prevention Division
Our goal is
the promotion of fire safety through education, implementation and enforcement
of Life Safety Codes, National Fire Protection Association Rules and
Regulations, Fire Safety Codes and Ordinances.
Smoke
and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Test your
detectors every month
Please read the
manufacturers instructions to determine the best way to test your detectors.
Batteries
should be changed annually, however we suggest semi-annually
(Easy way to
remember is to change the batteries when you change your clocks).
Most
Manufacturers Recommend Replacing Detectors Every
10
Years!
