What are the Ontario Fire Code requirements for smoke alarms?
The Ontario Fire Code requires home owners to provide and install working smoke alarms. The smoke alarm should be installed next to any sleeping area. Keep smoke alarms well maintained at all times. When should I change my battery? Install a new battery for your smoke alarm at least once a year. When the low battery warning beeps, replace the battery immediately. We change our clocks each spring and fall, so this is a good time to change your smoke alarm batteries too.
