This is because, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fireservice.co.uk\/safety\/smoke-alarms\/\">UK Fire Service Resources<\/a>, nearly 500 people are killed and over 11,000 injured in house fires every year. A fire alarm will warn you with a loud beeping if it detects a fire and give you more time to leave your home safely.<\/p>\n<p>To make sure that your fire alarm\u2019s working properly, you should test it regularly. This is easy \u2013 most alarms have a test button that you can press to check if it sounds. Here are 3 reasons why you should test your fire alarm now.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Fire alarms save lives<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt about it \u2013 functioning fire alarms save lives. A working fire alarm will double the chances of you and your household surviving a fire by alerting you before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to make sure that your fire alarm is working is to test it. Checking it once a month will only take a few minutes and is 100% worth it.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Fire alarms protect your property<\/h3>\n<p>Working fire alarms also help to protect your property. If there\u2019s a fire, your alarm will alert you before it causes too much damage to your home. And if there\u2019s no one in your property, a quality fire alarm can also alert other people in the area and prompt them to take action before the fire gets out of control.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, if a fire does cause damage to your home, your insurance company is much more likely to pay out if you\u2019ve got working fire alarms.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Testing helps you avoid false alarms<\/h3>\n<p>Testing your fire alarm won\u2019t just check whether it\u2019ll go off or not. It\u2019ll also help you make sure it goes off at the right time. Keeping tabs on your fire alarm will make it more likely that you\u2019ll notice if it starts behaving oddly or going off when it doesn\u2019t need to. You can then sort this out before it becomes a problem.<\/p>\n<p>So if you test your fire alarm regularly you\u2019ll not only avoid annoying false alarms, you\u2019ll also be protecting your home and your household.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone should make sure that they\u2019ve got functioning fire alarms in their home.
