LANSING, Mich. â State officials are urging Michiganders to take some time to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
Doing so greatly increases residentsâ chances of surviving a house fire, according to a news release Thursday.
âEvery second counts and smoke alarms provide the warning you and your loved ones need to be able to evacuate safely,â said Orlene Hawks, director of the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
Last year, 122 people died in 101 fires in Michigan, according to the department.
