Firefighters installed smoke alarms if residents didn’t have them, and replaced batteries if needed.
It’s suggested that smoke detector batteries be replaced twice a year, smoke alarms are tested monthly and replaced every 10 years.
According to the state fire marshal’s office, more than 75 percent of fatal fires in Ohio occur in homes without working smoke alarms, which also cut the risk of dying by fire in half.
