Have you got a smoke alarm?

Have you got a smoke alarm in your home? If so, when did you last check the batteries? Or is there a battery still in the smoke alarm? Surrey Fire and Rescue Service urges people to check their smoke alarm batteries once a week.

Tragically, there is a high human cost for not checking your smoke alarm is working. Nationally, the death rate in domestic fires where there is no working smoke alarm is two times higher than that in homes fitted with a working smoke alarm.

Information on smoke alarms and how to look after them is available here on our website.
