DRIVE! Install alarms in the basement. I1 • Large homes may need extra smoke alarms. • It is best to use interconnected smoke alarms.When one smoke alarm sounds they all sound. • Test all smoke alarms at least once a month.Press the test button to be sure the alarm is working. • There are two kinds of alarms.Ionization smoke alarms are quicker to warn about flaming fires.Photoelectric alarms are quicker to warn about smoldering fires.It is best to use both types of alarms in the home. • A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce false alarms.They should be at least 10 feet(3 meters)from the stove. • People who are hard-of-hearing or deaf can use special alarms.These alarms have strobe lights and bed shakers. • Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
