Posted on 3 April 2019 | 12:00 am by Broadalbin Fire Broadalbin-Kennyetto Fire Company New NY law mandates sale of upgraded smoke detectorsHomeowners and landlords may soon have no choice but to swap out their smoke detectors for upgraded 10-year sealed models next time they go to the store. It’s thanks to a new New York State law going into effect this year. The law says that starting April 1, 2019 all businesses must sell smoke detectors that are either a 10-year, sealed, non-removable battery or hardwired detector. The Clifton Park Fire Department says that while these 10-year smoke detectors have a larger upfront cost than traditional alarms powered by replaceable batteries, the lack of yearly battery changes makes them cheaper over the life of the device. The smoke detectors run about $20, but the Red Cross gives them out for free. Volunteers say when they install the detectors that they find the one’s being replaced are often old or have missing batteries. “The benefit of these sealed units is that you can’t do that. You can’t accidentally take the battery out and forget to replace it,” said Kimmy Venter. “People say, ‘Well I change the battery and it still works.’ Well it beeps but it doesn’t work anymore,” said volunteer Tommy Smith. Like all safety alarms, 10-year sealed smoke alarms should still be tested at least once each year using the button on the front of the unit to ensure they are working properly. According to the Clifton Park Fire Department, all smoke detector units, both with and without replaceable batteries should be replaced after 10 years. Detectors with sealed battery compartments and 10-year lifespans ensure detectors are removed and replaced once they become outdated.

This program is offered to families with children and/or seniors who are low-income and reside in single dwellings living within our fire district. This program is free of charge to our citizens. We will come and install up to 3 smoke detectors, check any detectors you have at your home and inform you if you have a sufficient amount of smoke detectors in your home. A smoke detector is the first line of defense in saving lives. The most common cause of death during a home fire is not from the fire itself, but from the toxic smoke and gases released during a fire. These products of combustion often render victims unconscious or disoriented, leaving them unable to react, especially during the sleeping hours. The Broadalbin-Kennyetto Fire Company Smoke Detector Program is funded by donations and partnered with The American Red Cross. If you have any questions about this program, please contact the Fire Company at 518-883-3611. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4yqx4RwGhrLbl96TXRoR0VNNHc/view?usp=sharing Posted on 5 November 2018 | 10:56 am by Broadalbin Fire Events 2019 EventsAugust Posted on 16 December 2017 | 12:26 am by Broadalbin Fire Auxiliary Broadalbin-Kennyetto Fire Auxiliary Members2019 Broadalbin – Kennyetto Fire Company Auxiliary Members President – Wendy Hayes Members: Posted on 28 April 2015 | 1:18 am by dwells
