The State Fire Marshal’s Office is reminding Washington residents to check their smoke alarms, noting that 60% of 2024 fire fatalities happened in homes without working alarms. According to the National Fire Protection Association, the chances of surviving a fire double when smoke alarms are functioning. RCW 43.44.110 requires smoke detectors in most dwellings, with owners responsible for installation and tenants for upkeep. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/smoke-alarms-in-dwellings/ #WashingtonState #SmokeAlarms #FireSafety #RCW4344110 #PublicSafety #NFPA #StateFireMarshal #ResidentialFireSafety #HomeSafety #FirePrevention
