Wawa's Fire Chief is challenging residents to be "Saved by the Beep".
Fire Chief Kevin Sabourin explains today is "Test Your Smoke Alarm Day".
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.
