October is Fire Prevention Month, and state and local fire officials are asking people to take a moment and make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are functioning properly. Alison Green of the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office says they are conducting a four-week social media campaign called #KnowYourBeepingAlarm. One chirp or beep means there is an issue with the alarm getting power, and recurring beeps or three beeps in a row is the smoke alarm telling you it needs to be replaced. For information on smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, go to the Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal webpage.
