Smoke alarm in Weinheim: save life through regular maintenance!

On Friday, June 13, 2025, the nationwide smoke detectors' day takes place, an initiative for clarifying the life -saving importance of smoke detectors. The “Smoke Life Save” campaign calls to ensure both the installation and the regular maintenance of these devices to counteract the alarming statistics: daily in Germany a person dies of the consequences of a fire, mostly by poisonous flue gases, which are not recognized in good time by defective smoke detectors.

in Weinheim, where the fire brigade was called several times last year due to incorrectly triggered smoke detectors, the population is urged to be vigilant during cooking and to regularly check the functionality of their smoke detectors. The fire brigade makes it clear that the forgetting of the stove can also lead to avoidable alarms. Users should make sure that the smoke detectors are tested; Many have a test button with which the functionality can easily be checked.
