This June, DFES is taking part in Smoke Alarm Action Day on June 1st, and we invite you to join us in spreading the word about the importance of ensuring your smoke alarms are in working order.
๐ You may remember the old “Don’t be a fool, change your smoke alarm battery” campaign from April 1st. However, with new legislation now requiring mains-powered or 10-year lithium smoke alarms, it's more than just about changing batteries.

On June 1st, we’ll be encouraging the community to:
โ๏ธ Test and clean your smoke alarms.
โ๏ธ Check that your smoke alarms are less than 10 years old and replace them if necessary.
โ๏ธ Replace batteries if required.
Only working smoke alarms save lives—take action today to protect your home and loved ones!
