Location. Location. Location. It’s the most important lesson anyone can learn in real estate. The same rule is equally important for placement of working smoke alarms. This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign is Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every bedroom needs a working smoke alarm. Jeff Knopf, Fire and Life Safety Educator with Camrose Fire Department, urges homeowners to also position working smoke alarms outside of sleeping areas and on every level of homes, including the basement. “Statistically, half of home fire deaths occur between 11 pm and 7 am, the hours most people typically sleep. Working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half,” notes Knopf. The Camrose Fire Department urges everyone to install, test, and replace batteries or remove and replace older models of smoke alarms during Fire Prevention Week, October 4-10. As one of their many initiatives during this year’s campaign, CFD will be giving Grade 4 students in the City of Camrose free smoke detectors to install in their bedrooms. This is possible due to the extreme corporate generosity of Wild Rose Co-op, along with the fund-raising efforts of local volunteer firefighters.
