State Fire Marshal reminds Illinoisans to practice safety
Canton Daily Ledger
SPRINGFIELD The Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) reminds Illinoisans to test, check for expired alarms and replace batteries in their smoke alarms as they change the clock this weekend.
“Working smoke alarms are critical to preventing serious injuries and death in the case of a house fire. It only takes a couple of extra minutes to push the test button on smoke alarm or CO alarm to ensure it’s working. That extra minute or two could save your life one day,” said State Fire Marshall Matt Perez. “In 2020, the pandemic slowed the efforts of our “Be Alarmed” program. Still, we had 185 participating fire departments from 61 counties in Illinois install 1,655 10-year sealed smoke alarms in Illinois homes. Thanks to their dedication, there are nearly 600 homes in Illinois protected and nearly 1,400 residents educated on smoke alarm maintenance, home fire safety and home fire escape plans. R
