Test Your Smoke Alarm Day took place September 28. Barrie residents were encouraged to push and hold the test button on your smoke alarm until the beep. Being prepared to be Saved by the Beep with a working smoke alarm is your best chance to keep you and your family safe in the event of a fire.
The City of Barrie joined communities across the province by asking everyone to take a minute and ensure there are working smoke alarms installed in your home. Lives can be saved by regularly testing smoke alarms at least once a month, refreshing batteries at least once a year, and replacing smoke alarms older than 10 years.
