smoke detectors

We are told to check our smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms twice a year when we change our clocks back. But there's a good reason to check those detectors right now. There is a nationwide recall of the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors because they may not alert residents of a fire.

Safety is one of our primary concerns in our homes and apartments. Now a new law makes it mandatory to replace old smoke detectors.

The American Red Cross volunteers will be knocking on doors throughout the Capital Region to install smoke detectors for those who need them. They are hoping they get a warmer reception by getting the word out sooner this year.

A possible malfunction is causing a recall of hundreds of thousands of a popular brand of smoke alarms.
