Fire Safety In The Home

Most fires occur in the home, and to minimize this danger, it is rec-

ommended that a household fire safety audit be conducted and a

family escape plan be developed.

Household Fire Safety Audit

Are all electrical appliances and outlets in safe condition?

Check for frayed cords, overloaded lighting circuits, etc. If

you are uncertain about the condition of your electrical appli-

ances or household service, have a professional evaluation.

Are all flammable liquids safely stored in closed containers,

and in a cool and well ventilated area? Cleaning the unit with

flammable liquids should be avoided.

Are hazardous materials such as matches out of the reach of

children?

Are furnaces and wood burning appliances properly installed,

clean, and in good working order? If in doubt, have a profes-

sional evaluation.

Family Escape Planning

There is often very little time between the detection of a fire and

the time it becomes deadly. Because of this, it is very important

that a family escape plan be developed and rehearsed.

Every family member should participate in developing the

escape plan.

Study the possible escape routes from each location within

the house. Since many fires occur at night, special attention

should be given to the escape routes from sleeping quarters.

It is essential that escape from a bedroom be possible without

opening the interior door. Consider the following when mak-

ing your escape plans:

•

Ensure that doors and windows that open to the outside are

easily opened. Ensure that they are not painted shut and that

the locking mechanisms operate smoothly.

•

If opening the exit or using the exit is too difficult for chil-

dren, the elderly or handicapped, plans for their rescue

should be developed. This plan includes making sure that

those who are to perform the rescue can promptly hear the

fire warning signal.

•

If the exit is above the ground level, an approved fire ladder

or rope should be provided, as well as training in its use.

•

Exits on the ground level should be kept clear. Be sure to

remove snow from exterior patio doors in the winter and that

outdoor furniture or equipment does not block exits.

•

The family should have a predetermined assembly point

where everyone can be accounted for; for example, across

the street or at a neighbor's house.

•

Once everyone is out of the house, call the Fire Department.

•

A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investi-

gate first or attempt to fight the fire, and do not attempt to

rescue belongings or valuables as this takes up time.

Once outside, do not re-enter the house; wait for the Fire

Department.

•

Write the plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should

an emergency ever arise, everyone will know what to do.

Revise the plan as conditions change; for example, when

there are more or fewer family members in the home or if

there are changes to the house.

•

Make sure your fire warning system is operational by con-

ducting weekly tests. If you are unsure about system oper-

ation, contact your smoke detector installer or dealer.

•

DSC recommends that you contact your local Fire Depart-

ment and request further information on home fire safety

and escape planning. If available, have your local fire preven-

tion officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.

Testing Your Smoke Detector

Follow the test procedure described here or contact

your smoke detector dealer or installer for testing

instructions.

DSC recommends that your entire alarm system be

tested at least once a week to verify the operation of

all system functions.

Smoke Detector Unit Test

To test the smoke detector, press and hold the test button on the

front of the unit. When the button is pressed, the unit's alarm

should sound. When the button is released, the alarm should

cease. If this does not occur, check that the batteries are the cor-

rect type, in good condition and are installed correctly (see the

'Battery Installation' section below).

Upon completing the functional testing of the smoke detector,

check the unit's sensing chamber to ensure proper operation. To

test the sensing chamber, wave a lit cotton wick or punk stick

around the outside of the unit until a generous amount of smoke

enters the sensing chamber or the unit alarms. If the smoke detec-

tor does not function properly, call your smoke detector installer or

dealer for service.

Maintenance

The smoke detector is designed to require minimum maintenance.

If the case becomes dusty, vacuum with a small brush attachment.

If the case is greasy, wipe the case gently with a soft cloth slightly

dampened with soapy water.

Never disassemble the smoke detector; there are no

user serviceable parts inside the unit. Never paint the

unit. Paint may prevent smoke from entering the unit.

If you are planning renovations or repainting, contact

your installer and ask that the unit be temporarily

removed until work is complete.

If the unit is located in an area where it is exposed to high levels of

dust or insects and causes false alarms, it may require service; con-

tact your smoke detector installer or dealer.
