PSA Day 2 - Smoke Detectors
If you did your homework after seeing our PSA Day 1 video, you should know whether you have hardwired smoke detectors with a green or red light.
Now we will take about the new type of smoke detector that is required in your home if you are a Maryland resident: on the box, it says "10-year sealed battery".
This type of smoke detector does not have a battery you can change or remove.
It was made mandatory as a result of people removing batteries from their smoke detectors because they would start beeping in the middle of the night and never replacing them, thus silencing a potentially life-saving implement.
