A Fire Prevention Week message from Apopka's Fire Chief

As National Fire Prevention Week comes to an end here is a message from Apopka's Fire Chief, Chuck Carnesale.

Chief Carnesale is going to tell us:

• How often to check your smoke alarms.
• How often to change the batteries in your smoke alarms.
• How often to replace your smoke alarms.
• Where to look to check how old your smoke alarm is.

The Chief is also going to give us a short history lesson. Pay attention, there will be a quiz.

Now for the test:

• How often should you check your smoke alarms?
• How often should you change the batteries in your smoke alarms?
• How often should you replace your smoke alarms?
• Where should you look to check how old your smoke alarm is?
• When and why did National Fire Prevention Week begin? Hint - There may have been a cow involved.
