Smoke alarms save lives—but only if they work.
In 2023, Ontario experienced its highest number of fire-related fatalities in two decades, and many homes had no working smoke alarms. That’s why the province launched Test Your Smoke Alarm Day, held every September 28, to encourage all Ontarians to take 30 seconds and press the test button.
Whether you live in a house, condo, or apartment, testing your smoke alarm monthly is a simple step that protects your family and neighbours.
Join the movement by taking the pledge at SavedByTheBeep.ca, and help spread the word using #SavedByTheBeep.
Just click this pledge link and commit to testing your smoke alarm every month with reminders sent straight to your inbox!
