Save Lives - Install and Maintain Smoke Alarms

From May 1, 2006, all NSW residents must have at least one working smoke alarm installed in their homes. This includes rental properties, owner occupied, and temporary accommodation.

Smoke from a home fire is toxic, only early warning can assist in giving your family vital time to escape a smoke filled room.

Also, when asleep you will not smell the smoke from a fire and the smoke will actually put you into a deeper sleep.A smoke alarm can provide the early warning you need and is the critical first step in your home fire safety plan.




Tips on smoke alarms:

  • Install at least one smoke alarm on each level of your home
  • Use only Australian Standard 3786 smoke alarms
  • Replace alkaline batteries when daylight savings changes
  • Test smoke alarms once a month
  • Clean smoke alarms every six months – use a vacuum cleaner
  • Get new alarms every 10 years, or earlier if they need replacing
  • Ensure you have a home fire evacuation plan.

More information from the RFS and NSW Fire Brigades on smoke alarms, installing and maintaining them and the new legislation:

Change Your Clock, Change Your Smoke Alarm Battery

All homes in NSW are required, by law, to have at least one working smoke alarm installed on each level of their home. But ensuring that smoke alarms are in working order is just as important as having them in the first place.

When you change your clocks on Sunday 6 April 2008, take a few minutes to test your smoke alarms and to change the batteries. A fire can spread and engulf a home in just a few minutes.
