Smoke alarms are fantastic at alerting you to a fire in your property, but only when they're working properly. Do you know how to test your smoke alarm?

Fitting and testing smoke alarms

Smoke alarms provide an early warning signal that a fire has started, but they only work if they’re regularly tested.

You should test your smoke detector at least once a month, and make sure it’s clean from cobwebs and dust as this could stop it from working properly.
