Important Fire Safety Tip: Check Your Smoke Detectors!

Today is the first day of September, the first day of a brand new month. You get to start a new month with a clean slate. Before you do anything, including baking a mean peach cobbler since peaches are so wonderful right now, you need to do something. What?

Check your smoke detectors. Watch my video.

Is it really necessary to test your smoke detector every month? Yes. As an example, we went on vacation in August. We were gone for eight days. Our smoke detector batteries could have died while we were gone despite changing them with the time change every year. (More on that next month!) Even if you’re gone for half of a weekend, you could lose function. It’s best to test and know for sure than find out the hard way.

So go press the button on your smoke detectors right now. Use earplugs though. Man. That was loud.
