Fire Safety In a rented house in Ireland, there must be access to a fire blanket and fire detection and alarm system. This is a landlord's responsibility. However, it is up to you as the tenant to check your smoke alarm and replace the battery yearly or when needed. Smoke alarms require very little maintenance but to ensure it operates when needed: ● once a week, test the smoke alarm by pushing and holding the test button until it activates ● every six months vacuum and brush the casing to get rid of dust ● every year change the battery (unless it is a 10-year battery) ● every 10 years replace the smoke alarm Fire extinguishers - colour coded to identify which type of fire they extinguish.
