Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives!

October 28, 2020 / Brent Craven

Comox Fire Chief Gord Schreiner would like to remind you that working smoke alarms really do save lives.

A working smoke alarm could very well be the best investment you ever make to protect your family and property. Every second counts if a fire were to start in your home. Many homes have smoke alarms that do not work because the batteries are dead or have been removed. Batteries should be replaced every six months and alarms replaced every ten years.

Chief Schreiner states: ”It is always surprising to us how many homes do not have working smoke alarms. They cost very little and really can make a very big difference. If you live in the Town of Comox or the Comox fire Protection District and need help with your smoke alarms please call our fire station at 250-339-2432 and we will assist you. Last year we gave away over 200 smoke alarms.”
