Show Low Fire Information Corner

Hello again, to residents and visitors of the beautiful White Mountains of Arizona!

This month, in most parts of the country, people are adjusting their clocks to daylight savings time. The US Fire Administration feels that the time change is a good reminder to check your smoke alarms.

Our recommendation at Show Low Fire, is that you check your smoke detectors once a month. I know its hard to bring yourself to push that test button and listen to that eery ear piercing alarm sound, but that could save your life!

We also recommend that you change your battery in your smoke detector once a year. Since we don’t change our clocks to daylight savings time. Its a good idea to come up with a date to replace your battery in your smoke detector, whether its Christmas, New Years a birthday. Its a great idea to replace those batteries yearly, and don’t just replace one. Replace them all!

A properly installed and maintained smoke alarm is the only thing in your home that can alert you and your family to a fire 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you’re awake or asleep, a working smoke alarm is constantly on alert, scanning the air in your home for fire and smoke. These warriors of defense, must be maintained! A smoke alarm with a dead battery is the same as not having a smoke alarm at all.
This safety message was brought to you by the USFA and the Show Low Fire District.

Be safe, Love much, Laugh often.
