To enhance that effort, the Red Cross is giving away and installing free new smoke alarms and showing residents how to put together a family escape plan - just in case. That ends the annual tradition of changing the batteries at the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time. New York State has done what it can, with a new requirement that the batteries in smoke alarms must last 10 years. The American Red Cross is hoping its "Sound the Alarm" program reduces those incidents.
It's common when firefighters investigate the aftermath of a fire to tell reporters there was no smoke detector or the battery on the smoke detector had run down and didn't warn the residents their home was on fire.
