Alert Bert’s “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep!” Presentation Card

Description

Alert Bert’s Smoke Alarm Presentation Card is a great way to keep smoke alarm safety tips on hand. There’s no better spokesman for smoke alarm safety than Alert Bert! And his new presentation card is especially effective at educating children on the importance of smoke alarms and how they can help make their homes more fire safe.

It begins by noting that smoke alarms detect smoke early before fires get too big, giving people a chance to escape from their house. They are loud so that they can be heard even if they go off while people are sleeping. But it’s important to make sure that everyone in the house knows what their smoke alarm sounds like and that it will, in fact, wake them while they are asleep.

Smoke alarms should be placed on every level of the home. For example,  in the hall outside bedroom and inside every bedroom. Having alarms in these locations makes it easier for more people in the home to hear an alarm, should one sound.

Alarms are only effective if they are properly maintained. They can’t save lives if they aren’t working so test them every month. If the alarm doesn’t make a noise when the TEST button is pushed, the batteries need to be checked. And if that’s not the culprit, the unit should be replaced.

Take care of your smoke alarms and they will take care of you!
