The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is
beginning a campaign urging homeowners to install and test
fire alarms regularly. The “Test Your Smoke Alarms”
campaign is a part of events leading up to the NFPA’s
National Fire Prevention Week, taking place from Oct. 3 to
9.
The NFPA says on itsHREF=http://www.nfpa.org/FPW/index.asp> Web site at
www.nfpa.org that about 70 percent of home fire deaths
happen because the home had either no smoke alarms or the
smoke alarms weren’t functioning.
“Test Your Smoke Alarms” is just one of several campaigns
that will take place leading up to National Fire Prevention
Week.
