The Importance of Checking Smoke Detectors In Connecticut

Inoperable or improperly installed smoke detectors are a commonly found code violation. Smoke detectors are one of the most important life safety devices in your buildings. If you have an older building with battery operated smoke detectors, these batteries need to be checked periodically. Fire Officials recommend that batteries be checked twice a year when clocks are changed for daylight savings time (April and October). Tenants should be encouraged to check batteries and report any problems to you or your management as soon as possible. Batteries are usually tested by pushing the test button on the detector. To find out if the smoke detector actually works, we recommend using one of the commercially available aerosol smoke detector testing products. Every smoke detector comes with instructions for use and diagrams to help you install them in the proper locations. If you have questions concerning the location of your smoke detectors, call your Multiple Housing Inspector or contact your neighborhood fire station.
