Winter Fire Safety: As Australians look for ways to manage rising energy costs this winter, homeowners and renters are being encouraged not to cut corners when it comes to fire safety. A simple way to stay on top of smoke alarm maintenance is to remember the Rule of 10:
• Smoke alarms should be less than 10 years old;
• It takes less than 10 seconds to clean them;
• It takes less than 10 seconds to test them.
Taking a few moments to check your smoke alarms today can provide peace of mind and help ensure your household is protected throughout the colder months.
Check your smoke alarm is in good operating order for winter.
