When You Hear a Beep, Get On Your Feet! Get out and stay out. Call 9-1-1 from your outside meeting place. Hear a Chirp, Make a Change! A chirping alarm needs attention. Replace the batteries or the entire alarm if it is older than 10 years old.

A continuous set of three beeps - beep, beep, beep - means #smoke or #fire. A continuous set of four loud beeps - beep, beep, beep, beep - means #carbonmonoxide is present.

In each situation, get out, stay out, and call 9-1-1

Know the meaning:
A watch is issued when there is the potential for severe weather.
#BePrepared
A warning issued when that severe weather is actually occurring or is imminent.
Our friends from Normal Fire, Illinois put it in perspective 😉
