Did you know not everyone wakes up at the sound of a smoke alarm?
Whether hearing impaired or just a deep sleeper, it is important to know who in your household may not wake up when the smoke detector goes off.
Test the smoke detector during the night to see how your household members react when asleep. If someone struggles to wake up to the sound, come up with a plan for how to quickly alert them to danger.
Designate an adult who wakes easily or consider investing in a smoke detector that uses strobe lights or shakes the bed.
