SERVPRO of Wilson County reminds you that smoke detectors (smoke alarms) saves lives.

Smoke spreads fast. An alarm gives you time to get out.

SERVPRO of Wilson County wants you to remember:

Closed doors can slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. That is good for reducing smoke damage and fire damage. That 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
Large homes might need extra smoke alarms
Some companies make alarms that are interconnected. When one sounds, they all sound
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
When the alarm sounds, get everyone outside and stay outside
Replace all smoke alarms every 10 years

SERVPRO of Wilson County reminds you to call the fire department once you are outside the home.
