Put a Finger on Fire Safety - Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives

Got One? Get One

Install at least one smoke alarm on every floor of your home. If you can not afford one, the Fire Department will provide one at no cost.


Pass the Test

Check to make sure it is working by putting a finger on the red test button. At least once a month. Change the batteries twice a year.


Double Your Chances

When smoke alarms sound off and there is no fire, don't yank out batteries, remove covers, or disable your smoke alarms in any way. Smoke alarms double your chances of surviving a fire.


Location, Location, Location

For the best protection, put one in every bedroom, in hallways close to sleeping areas and in other living areas, but NOT in the kitchen.

The "Put a Finger on Fire Safety" program is supported by: The Georgetown Fire Department.
