Comox fire chief Gord Schreiner would like to remind you that working smoke alarms really do save lives.
A working smoke alarm could very well be the best investment you ever make to protect your family and property, he says. Every second counts if a fire were to start in your home.
Many homes have smoke alarms that do not work because the batteries are dead or have been removed, Schreiner adds.
”It is always surprising to us how many homes do not have working smoke alarms,” he comments. “They cost very little and really can make a very big difference.”
