6 HARRISON FIRE RESCUE Harrison Fire Rescue wants to remind the community that Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors need to be replaced every 10 years. During the past four years, Harrison Fire Rescue has been dispatched 85 times for what we classify as False Alarms, where a detector was alarming the residents, but there was no hazards found when our members investigated. A large percentage of these calls had either Smoke Alarms or Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms that were older than 10 years old. Why do alarms need to be changed? Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms use sensors to see if a hazard exists in your home. These sensors do lose their sensitivity over time, making a false alarm more likely. Also, the air in our home contains dust and other contaminates that can build up on these sensors. Not only do they alarm falsely, there is a risk that when you need them, they won t alert you in a timely manner, or even worse, alert you at all. The recommendation to replace them every 10 years comes from the United States Fire Administration, the federal government s fire & emergency prevention bureau. They are the reason a manufactured date is printed on the detector, so that you can protect yourself. This is NOT a manufacturer s recommendation designed to sell more detectors. You may have heard the phrase Change your Clocks, Change your batteries. This year, check to see when your detectors were manufactured, if they are 10 years old or older, it s time to just replace the whole detector. You even have the option to purchase a new one that has a 10 year battery life, making that annual change less likely. Follow these four steps: 1. Remove your detector from the wall or ceiling. 2. Look at the back of the detector for the date of manufacture. 3. If the date is from 2008 or older, replace the detector. 4. If the date is less than 10 years, replace the battery and reinstall the detector. Harrison Fire Rescue is here to help if you have questions or need assistance. While we enjoy meeting the residents we protect, preventing emergency responses to false alarms helps reduce the costs of fire protection and reduces risks to those in our community. If your alarms are sounding and you are unsure why, do not hesitate to call 911, Harrison Fire Rescue will help you find the problem! The future park on Manitowoc Rd needs a name!
