Wawa's Fire Chief is challenging residents to be "Saved by the Beep".
Fire Chief Kevin Sabourin explains a special challenge has been launched, directly calling on people to check their smoke alarms.
Reminding smoke alarms normally last only ten years - and batteries do need to be replaced from time-to-time to ensure they're working - Sabourin emphasizes the alarms are required by law.
While he notes smoke alarms are important to ensure you have early warning to get out of your home in case of a fire, Chief Sabourin also reminds everyone to prepare a home fire or family escape plan, to ensure everyone knows what to do in case of a fire.
Test Your Smoke Alarm Day is next Thursday, September 28th.
