awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely

evacuating the area unassisted.

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS

• Alert small children in the home.

•

Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don’t waste

time getting dressed or picking up valuables.

• In leaving, don’t open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot,

or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don’t open that door! Instead,

use your alternate exit. If the inside of the door is cool, place your shoulder

against it, open it slightly and be ready to slam it shut if heat and smoke rush

in.

• Stay close to the floor if the air is smoky. Breathe shallowly through a cloth,

wet if possible.

• Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is

there.

• Call the fire department from your neighbor’s home - not from yours!

• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.

There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect

against fire as stated in the NFPA Standard 72. For instance:

a) smoking in bed

b) leaving children home alone

c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline

9. NRC INFORMATION

Ionization type smoke alarms use a very small amount of a radioactive element

in the sensing chamber to enable detection of visible and invisible combustion

products. The radioactive element is safely contained in the chamber and

requires no adjustments or maintenance. This smoke alarm meets or exceeds all

government standards. It is manufactured and distributed under license from

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

10. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION

The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 provides the following

information:
