If they’re not working be sure to replace the batteries or get someone out to take a look at the system to maintain fire prevention in your home.

Tip #2: Keep a Fire Extinguisher 

Fire extinguishers should be household essentials and are mandatory in some places of residence. To maintain fire prevention it’s important to get one if you don’t have one and get it tested annually just in case you have to use it in a mini kitchen or grill fires.
