Test smoke alarms monthly!

Test your smoke alarms every month by using the test button on the alarm. When the test button is pressed, the alarm should sound. If it fails to sound, make sure that the battery is installed correctly or install a new battery. Install a new battery at least once a year, as recommended by the manufacturer or if the low-battery warning sounds. If the alarm still fails to sound, replace the smoke alarm with a new one.Replace any smoke alarms that are older than 10 years with a new one.
Steam from the shower or cooking in the oven, stove or toaster can cause smoke alarms to activate. If these types of nuisance alarms occur, do not remove the battery.

 

Carbon Monoxide - The Silent Killer!!

The Township of Asphodel-Norwood is encouraging you to protect your family and friends from the dangers of CO by ensuring that your furnace, other fuel-burning appliances, vents and chimneys are in safe working order.
Installing a Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a practical way to protect yourself and others inside your home against the colourless, odourless, tasteless gas.
