Changing the battery in a First Alert smoke detector is a crucial safety measure that ensures your home is protected in case of fire. Smoke detectors detect smoke and sound an alarm to alert you and your family to evacuate the house.
Having working smoke detectors in your home can significantly reduce your family’s risk of dying in a home fire. It is essential to test your smoke detectors monthly and replace the batteries at least once a year, or sooner if the detector chirps, indicating a low battery.
