The Canada Safety Council (CSC) is reminding Canadians to take preventive measures to keep their smoke alarms operational, unencumbered and capable of alerting members of their household in an emergency situation.
As a tool used only in case of emergency, it’s easy to forget to perform regular maintenance on your smoke alarm.
At the same time, unless you’re doing regular tests, the first time you find out it’s not working might also be your last.
