Is there a beep or a chirp coming out of your smoke or carbon monoxide’alarm? Knowing the difference can save you, your home, and your family,” said Lorraine Carli, vice—president of I outreach and advocacy at NFPA. The Mason County Fire Districts encourage all residents to embrace, 2021 Fire Prevention week theme. It’s important to learn the different ’7 sounds of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. When an alarm makes noise—a beeping sound or a chirping sound—you must take action! Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the alarms and knows how to respond. To learn the sounds of your specific smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, check the manufacturer’s instructions that came in the box, or search the brand and model online. The Mason County Fire Districts want to share safety tips to help you “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety.” - A continuous set of three loud beeps—beep,,beep, beep—means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out. o A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed. o All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years. - Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced. o Make sure your smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities. The Mason County Fire Districts are hosting a series of events in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety.” To find out more about Fire Prevention‘Week programs and activities in Mason County, please contact your local Fire District.
