I’ve since learmed that. this has happened to other people and you can learn from our experience. To begin with, it is recommended that you havefire detectors in your home. For new construction it is mandatory. There should be one detector in each’; bedroom at the highest point in.‘ the ceiling. There should be an alarm in the hallways adjacent to bedrooms. There should be an.’ alarm near the highest ceiling in the house,ifthat’s a family room, kitchen or stairway you need an. alarm there. There should be a. detector in the unfinished portion ofthe basement. Next, we are approaching the time ofyear to changethe batter-) ies in your detectors. ' Also, many of the detectors. have instructions that say you : should blow-clean the detectors” | as often as once a month. This ‘ turned outto be our problem. The we disconnected was really filled with dust.Itjust went.’ off inicrmittently because it was irty. Insects, spider webs and household dust can trigger a false alarm. Doa betterjob with your family than I did in preparing mine for a fire. Teach them to test the doors for heat before opening them. Teach them to stay low near the floor because thatis usually were you'll find the best air. Discuss a. : common meeting place outside the house away from fire danger. Sound the alarm so that young children will know whatit sounds ee ae Ee ae ee “viaally, if your alarm does go off, after all is clear you can disconnect each detector and clean and check it so that the noise stops and you are ready if ever you need these detectors to save your life, Spencer Greer is the executive officer for the Home Builders Association ofGreater Salt Lake. at. speaking since an automobile goldenretriever guide dog ANN LANDERS Dear Ann: Break outthe wet noodie for printing thatletter from the eumcecssaessrhos.-.. ional Speakers Hall of me earlier this month in Washington,D.C.
