  • Page 2: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds

    What to do When the Alarm Sounds! Smoke Alarm Procedure NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM! Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette smoke will not normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm. Combustion particles from cook- ing may set off the alarm if it is located too close to the cook- ing area.
