Please check your smoke alarm batteries

A couple of weeks ago, a fire destroyed a house in my old neighborhood on Long Island. A 62-year-old man, his wife, and their teenage daughter died. Three other children were away at school when it happened.
Yesterday the fire marshalls released their findings- someone improperly extinguished a cigarette and it smoldered for hours. As sad as that it, there were two smoke detectors in the home, but one had no battery and the others battery was expired.
Smoke detectors can save lives, but only if they are maintained.
