After you reset your clocks, the Chesapeake Fire Department wants to remind you to check the batteries in your home smoke detector or replace them.

Recommendations:

  • Place a smoke detector on each floor of your home.
  • Place additional detectors in bedrooms, since many fatal fires happen at night.
  • Install smoke detector on the ceiling or wall, 6-8 inches below the ceiling.
  • Replace smoke detector after 8-10 years.
