🔥 Smoke Detectors:
• Make sure you have one on every level of your home, in every bedroom, and outside sleeping areas.
• Test them monthly—don’t wait until it’s too late!
• Replace batteries at least once a year, and replace the entire unit every 10 years.

💨 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detectors:
• Place one on every level, especially near bedrooms.
• Test monthly and replace batteries at least once a year.
• CO detectors save lives—don’t ignore an alarm. Replace every 5–7 years.

From our family to yours: Take a few minutes tonight to test your detectors. It could make all the difference. The McConnellsburg Volunteer Fire Company is always here for you—help us keep our community safe! 🧯❤️
