Visual smoke alarms a must for new homes
Kingston Fire and Rescue is reminding residents that since 2015, all newly built homes in Ontario are required to have smoke alarms equipped with visual signaling features, such as strobe lights.
This important safety measure ensures that everyone, including individuals with hearing impairments, can be alerted in case of an emergency.
To keep your home safe, it’s essential to test your smoke alarms monthly and replace them every 10 years. Kingston Fire and Rescue emphasizes the importance of having working alarms to protect your loved ones from the dangers of fire.
If you're unsure about the type of smoke alarm your home requires, don't hesitate to contact Kingston Fire and Rescue for guidance.
Ensuring your home is properly equipped can make a life-saving difference in an emergency.
