Seniors.do you have the sense to use smoke alarms in your home & keep them checked & maintained ?

We always have at least 2 & change the batteries once a year whether they have expired or not.

The house we have just purchased had only one in it & the batteries were not only two different mixed ones they were dated 2000,needless to say it didn't work & we have already replaced it & bought & installed a second one as well.

    Us old'uns aren't all senile!

    I certainly have "the sense" to use smoke alarms; there are 3 in my house - they are tested regularly and have their batteries changed every year.

    Of course we do, we are the ones that invented smoke detectors not the young generation.
