Why Do You Need Smoke Detectors?

In Ohio there is a residential fire every half hour.
Fires occur most often when people are sleeping. When we are sleeping our senses are turned down or shut off.  We can’t smell smoke! We need something to wake us up!
Over 75% of fire deaths occur in residences.
The installation of just one smoke detector doubles your chance for escaping a nighttime fire.
Smoke detectors provide early warning, increasing chances for survival & allowing the Fire Department to save more property.
