Smoke Detectors can Save Lives in Broomfield

5/11/2021 (Permalink)

By installing a fire alarm(s), you can lower your risk of being harmed in the event a fire breaks out in your Broomfield home.

A properly installed smoke alarm alerts you that danger is present in your home by giving you time to get to safety. SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada knows that fire is fast once it is started.

SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada wants you to remember:

• Closed doors can slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire which helps reduce smoke damage and fire damage. This is also why you should have a smoke alarm in every sleeping room in the home.
• Install smoke alarms on every level of the home
• Do not turn off smoke detectors when cooking
• Test the smoke alarms at least once a month. There is a test button on the alarm
• Replace all smoke alarms every 10 years
• Large homes might need extra smoke alarms
• Some companies make alarms that are interconnected. When one sounds, they all sound
• When the alarm sounds, get everyone outside and stay outside

If your Broomfield home is not properly protected by a smoke detector, please install one. If you experience a fire, immediately vacate the home and then contact your fire department once you are outside the home.

SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada is independently owned and operated.
