Hear the Beep Where You Sleep - WHEREVER That May Be! (PDF, 145 KB)
This 10-minute mini-lesson teaches participants how to identify locations in the home where it is important to have working smoke alarms. It is especially important for audiences who may be using less traditional sleeping quarters such as those living with extended families and college students (who often live in off-campus housing in urban areas).
In this presentation, an overview is given of the importance of having a working smoke alarm in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.
