Food from Peter Woo’s SMOKE ALARMS | FROM Page 7 that a wave of smoke alarms in homes across Massachusetts won’t be reliable in the months ahead.” Chief Purcell kicked off the month-long push yesterday at a press conference with State Fire Marshal Davine, Auburn Fire Chief Stephen Coleman, and fire chiefs from across Massachusetts. “Every smoke alarm should have a manufacturing date printed on the back of the device,” said Brockton Fire Chief Brian Nardelli, who serves as FCAM’s First Vice President. “If it’s more than 10 years old, or if it doesn’t have a date, replace it right away. If it’s not 10 years old and it takes alkaline batteries, this is a great time to put fresh batteries in to be sure you’re protected through the winter.” Chief Nardelli will host a press conference at the Brockton Fire Department on October 9 to Stop cleaning-out your gutters this season Get a FREE full gutter inspection and estimate: 1-855-400-0172 1.We Clean 2.We Reinforce 3.We Install promote the smoke alarm safety message for news media in Southeastern Massachusetts. “When it’s time to replace your smoke alarms, we strongly recommend choosing new alarms that meet UL Standard 217, 8th Edition or later,” said State Fire Marshal Jon M. Davine. “Look for that language on the packaging or the product specifi cations. These devices use the latest multi-criteria technology, which helps to prevent nuisance alarms caused by cooking smoke.” “Sealed-battery smoke alarms are powered by lithium-ion batteries, so please don’t put them in your household trash or recycling,” said Easthampton Fire Chief Christopher Norris, who serves as FCAM’s Second Vice President. “If they’re crushed or punctured in a compactor truck or a transfer station, they could cause a fi re that’s very diffi cult to extinguish. 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.
