After putting new batteries in a smoke detector, residents should make sure the detector is working by activating the safety test button. The Lompoc City Fire Department recommends testing smoke detectors at least once a month. If there is any doubt regarding the working condition of a smoke detector, it is best to replace it.
A working smoke detector provides an early warning of a fire, and gives people the critical extra seconds needed to escape.
Although smoke detectors are in most American homes, many do not work simply because the battery is dead. Dead batteries are responsible for about 25 percent of smoke alarm failures, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
