Public Safety Information
There is no single more important item in any household
than a working smoke alarm. Nearly one third of residential fires
and two fifths of residential fatalities occur in homes with no smoke
alarms. Put another way, having a working smoke alarm in
the home reduces your chances of dying in a fire by nearly half.
Place a smoke alarm on every level of your home and
outside bedrooms. If you keep your bedroom doors closed,
place a smoke alarm in each bedroom. Check the batteries once a
month to make sure it works.
Get more information on smoke alarms and fire safety
from the U.S. Fire Administration by visiting

Hartford Fire Department at: (860)722-8225.
