Smoke alarm awareness

A working smoke alarm gives you the minutes you need to get out.

  1. 1

    Smoke alarms are mandatory in every Estonian home — at least one per floor.

  2. 2

    Fit them on the ceiling, away from corners and kitchens.

  3. 3

    Test alarms monthly by pressing the test button.

  4. 4

    Replace batteries as recommended and the whole alarm about every 10 years.

  5. 5

    Consider a carbon monoxide detector if you have a stove, fireplace or gas appliance.
