If You Don’t Remove the Cap on Smoke Detectors, They Won’t Work
|
Recently, while visiting a home in town I discovered that their detectors were covered by the protective caps that are installed to protect them from dust and dirt during construction. The residents were completely unprotected! This is not the first time I have heard of this happening – orange or red plastic, protective covers left on the detectors well after construction has ceased. With these caps in place your smoke detectors will not work! They must be removed when the building is occupied and construction has ended.
