Did you know that a shingle "chirp" every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery in your smoke alarm is low and must be changed?

Also if the "chirping" continues after the battery has been replaced means that the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced.

National Fire Prevention Week 2021 is observed Oct. 3 to Oct. 9 to emphasize the importance of fire safety in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The incident claimed over 250 lives, left 100,000 people homeless, destroyed 17,000 structures, and burned over 2,000 acres of land. Remembering this event can shed light on and educate communities on the importance of fire and life safety education.

The importance of fire prevention is will be emphasized throughout the week. In a fire, mere seconds can mean the difference between safe escape and tragedy.

This year’s theme is Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety. The agenda focuses on every family member’s ability to distinguish the sounds that a smoke alarm makes, what each sound means, and how to respond to that sound.

The following tips can help people determine what various smoke detector sounds mean:

Chirping or beeping – typically caused by a low battery (change every six months)
Full buzzer or beeping – caused by smoke, change in temperature, or humidity (exit your home or facility, have a plan before this occurs)
Voice alarm – new alarms that add voice commands for effectiveness
Carbon monoxide alarm – may beep or use voice commands for effectiveness

For the deaf or hard of hearing, there are specially made smoke alarms and alert devices that include strobe lights. There are also pillows and bed shakers that are designed to work with your smoke alarm.

Make sure all smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities, and are listed by a qualified testing laboratory.

Happy Independence Day! Nick Reams Construction Services, Inc. will be closed Monday, July 5th so that our employees can enjoy the holiday! Keep in mind that we offer 24-Hour emergency service.

Per the U. S. Fire Administration, "make safe outdoor cooking a priority. Move the grill away from siding, decking, and other things that can catch fire. Stay with the grill the entire time you are cooking and finally, keep your grill clean so leftover grease and fat won't catch on fire."

Let's stay safe!
