Firefighters will concentrate on houses near Woldert Park and the Caldwell Zoo due to a recent house fire with no smoke alarms. The Tyler Fire Department reports that the risk of dying in a home structure fire is approximately 50 percent lower in homes with working smoke alarms. They would also like to remind residents that if their smoke alarm sounds, they should get outside and stay outside. It&#8217;s important to respond rapidly.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Community members are encouraged to test smoke alarms monthly by pressing the test button. You should hear three beeps, letting you know the alarm is working. Don&#8217;t hear the beeps? Then it&#8217;s time to change the batteries if your model requires them. If your smoke alarm is 10 years old, it&#8217;s time to get a new alarm because the sensor becomes less sensitive over time. <\/p>\n<p>For more information about fire safety or to schedule a free smoke alarm installation, contact the Tyler Fire Department at (903) 535-0005.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8211; The Tyler Fire Department is teaming up with the South Tyler Rotary Club to go door-to-door on Friday July 19 and 26 to check smoke alarms, replace batteries and install free smoke alarms in homes that need them.
