As lithium-ion batteries have become more common, we’ve started seeing more and more of these trash and transfer station fi res, and it’s a safe bet that the root cause is battery damage.” Chief Norris will host a third press conference at the Easthampton Fire Department on October 29 to promote the smoke alarm safety message for residents in Western Massachusetts. Each spring and fall, the Massachusetts fi re service reminds residents to check their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms when they change their clocks. The reminder is especially urgent this year as so many smoke alarms may need to be replaced. The State Fire Marshal’s offi ce and Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts urge residents to follow these safety tips: · Check the manufacturing date printed on the back of your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms · Replace smoke alarms after 10 years and CO alarms according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually after 5, 7, or 10 years depending on make and model) · Choose new smoke alarms from a well-known national brand and look for the mark of an independent testing lab such as UL or Intertek/ETL · Be sure the replacement alarm has a sealed, long-life battery and a hush feature and meets UL Standard 217, 8th Edition or later Many communities have programs that can assist older or low-income residents who need help installing or maintaining their alarms. Contact your local fi re department for more information. HOM COMINGWEEKEN D FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24 AND SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25 PREGAME TAILGATE CELEBRATION: 11 A.M.
