Smoke detectors
Take note the municipal By-Law requires a building owner to install and
maintain fire alarms on every floor of an inhabited building, including
basement. In all new residential buildings, smoke detectors must be
permanently connected to an electrical circuit and also be fitted with A
BATTERY as a back-up source of electricity during power outages. In
addition, all smoke detectors must be continuously maintained in working
order. They must be replaced if defective or if they have been in use
for MORE THAN 10 YEARS from the date of manufacture.
