4月1日俗称愚人节，昆士兰州消防救援服务中心催促昆士兰州的人们要及时替换烟雾报警器的电池，避免被认为是个傻瓜。
紧迫服务厅长尼尔罗伯茨说，人们有必要记住只要正常作业的烟雾报警器才干抢救生命。
“昆士兰州消防救援服务（QFRS）呼吁我们不要做掩耳盗铃，并且在4月1日替换他们家中的烟雾报警器的电池。这项举动得到了Duracell的支撑。”罗伯茨说。
“可悲的是，许多人的生命由于烟雾报警器的停工而失去了。这使得替换烟雾报警器的电池与解救亲人的生命具有同等的含义。”
“五分之一的澳大利亚人会在其一生中阅历一场火灾，而在烟雾报警器停工的情况下，火灾伤亡率将会进步百分之六十。要想从火灾中逃生，人们有必要意识到，只要正常作业的烟雾报警器才干供给必要的火灾报警信号。”
“依照澳大利亚的法令，住所中的烟雾报警器有必要坚持正常作业状况，并且要依照澳大利亚的规范装置，不然，将会由于违背安全规则而遭到处分。”
罗伯茨说，州政府三年多前就订立了相关法令，要求一切的家庭有必要装置一个烟雾报警器。
“从那时以来，昆士兰州，住所中装置烟雾报警器的份额一向坚持上升的趋势，从04年的72.6%上升到了08年度的百分之90.1。”他说。
布莱政府还引入了回扣方案，以此来补偿昆士兰州的耳聋者和听力妨碍者在购买包含闪光灯和枕头振动器等火灾报警器时的费用。
“350多名的交还请求已取得同意的日期，我鼓舞一切昆士兰州的听力受损者充分利用该项方案的优势。”
罗伯茨先生说，他很震动，由于许多的人在煮饭导致发作一些意外的时分，他们往往谁采纳封闭或撤除烟雾报警器的电池来阻挠报警器报警。
“这些挑选会导致丧命的结果，并且这些人谈到自己的安全和他们的亲人的安全还不以为意。”他说。
昆士兰消防救援服务中心的专员李·约翰逊呼吁人们，要常常清洗和测验家中的烟雾报警器，一起要常常替换烟雾报警器的电池。
“烟雾报警器应定时按下按测验按钮来进行测验，至少每6个月要用真空吸尘器进行清洗或许擦洗。烟雾报警器有失效日期，因而，要注意查看烟雾报警器的是否在使用期并及时替换。”约翰逊说。
“当谈到是租户的职责时，定时清洗和测验烟雾报警器是承租人的职责。”他说。（编译/慧聪消防网 林晓）

DON’T BE A FOOL, CHANGE YOUR SMOKE ALARM BATTERY
30/03/2010 2:50:03 PM
April 1 is commonly known as ‘April Fools Day’, but Queensland Fire and
Rescue Service is urging Queenslanders to avoid being labelled a fool by
changing the battery in their smoke alarms.
Emergency Services Minister Neil Roberts said people need to remember only
working smoke alarms can save lives.
“The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) with the support of Duracell
is appealing to everyone to not be an ‘April Fool’ and change their smoke
alarm battery on April 1,” Mr Roberts said.
“Tragically many lives are lost as a result of people not having working
smoke alarms. This makes the cost of replacing your smoke alarm battery as
valuable as saving the life of a loved one.
“One in five Australians will experience a house fire in their lifeTIme and
the absence of a smoke alarm can increase the possibility of a fatality by
60 per cent. To escape a fire people need to be awake and only smoke alarms
in working order can provide the necessary warning signs.
“It is illegal to not have a working smoke alarm which meets Australian
standards installed in your home and penalTIes apply to those who do not
comply with safety regulaTIons.”
Mr Roberts said the State Government had introduced laws more than three
years ago which require all homes from to have a smoke alarm.
“Since that TIme the percentage of households in Queensland with an
operational smoke alarm installed has been consistently increasing from 72.6
per cent in 2004-05 to 90.1 per cent in 2008-09,” he said.
“The Bligh Government has also introduced a rebate scheme for deaf and
hearing impaired people in Queensland to purchase warning systems that
includes strobe lights and pillow shakers.
“More than 350 applications for the rebate have been approved to date and
I would encourage all Queenslanders with impaired hearing to take advantage
of the scheme.”
Mr Roberts said he was also alarmed by the number of people who take down or
remove the battery from their smoke alarm when it was accidentally triggered
by cooking.
“These choices can have a deadly consequence and it is important people are
not complacent especially when it comes to their own safety and the safety
of their loved ones,” he said.
Queensland Fire and Rescue Service Commissioner Lee Johnson said cleaning and
testing your smoke alarms regularly goes hand in hand with replacing the
batteries.
“Smoke alarms should be tested regularly by pressing the test button and
they should also be vacuumed or wiped over at least every six months. Smoke
alarms have an expiry date and it is important this is checked as the actual
smoke alarm may be due for replacement,” Mr Johnson said.
“When it comes to rental properties it is the tenant’s responsibility to ensure
they regularly clean and
test their smoke alarm.”
