MOKE LARM
Three of the most common fire safety issues
are smoking in bed,
unattended and cleaning with flammable
fluids. There is no way to guarantee against
injury or loss of life in a fire; however, the
smoke alarm is intended to help reduce those
risks. Individuals with medical problems, or
who are hard of hearing, should consider
using warning devices that provide both
audible and visual signals.
Proper use and care of your smoke alarm
may save your life. Smoke alarms can only
work if they are properly
operational and maintained and if smoke
reaches them. They are not foolproof. Do not
remove the following label from your RV:
