Scheduled for October 6–12, this year’s campaign centers around the critical importance of smoke alarm maintenance in preventing fire-related tragedies.

The NFPA’s data reveals a troubling reality: a significant number of home fire deaths occur in residences with no smoke alarms or non-functional ones. This year’s theme is a call to action for homeowners to take smoke alarm maintenance seriously. The NFPA advises placing smoke alarms in key areas of the home, testing them monthly, and replacing them every ten years or when they fail to respond.

Fire Prevention Week is a time to educate and remind the public about the importance of fire safety. By following the NFPA’s guidelines; you can ensure that your smoke alarms are ready to protect your home and loved ones, providing a crucial early warning in the event of a fire.
