Smoke alarms save lives and property.

 

According to WA law, every home must have a hard-wired smoke alarm system.

 

All smoke alarms must be mains-powered and must comply with the following:

• Be no older than 10 years

• Be in working order

• Be permanently hard-wired to the mains power supply

 

This is the responsibility of homeowners, proprietors, and landlords.

 

Non-compliance with these regulations may incur penalties.

​

Multiple smoke alarms within a residence or commercial space must also be interconnected, regularly checked and tested, and shown to be in working order.
