Residents may get a visit from members of the Petrolia and North Enniskillen Fire Department this summer.
It started its door-to-door smoke and carbon monoxide alarm campaign earlier this month, which runs until the end of August.
Firefighters and summer students will be going to homes throughout the municipality to make sure their smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are working.
Fire Chief Rick Cousins said the fire department wants to make sure residents are safe.
"The law requires all homes have working CO and smoke alarms inside their residence," he said. "At least one on each level and they should be installed outside each bedroom."
Carbon monoxide alarms typically last for seven years while smoke alarms last for 10 years.
Cousins said part of the campaign is to remind residents how often they should check their alarms.
"Both of them can be direct plug in or hard wired or battery operated but it is best to check them monthly and make sure they're working," Cousins said.
He recommends batteries should be changed at least once a year but twice a year is preferred.
Cousins said the fire department recognizes some people don't feel comfortable with them coming into their home, so they have another way to check their alarms.
"We'll ask them to tell us how many in their house and we'll have them go and push the test button and that will set the alarm off and then we'll be able to hear that from the door," he said.
According to Cousins, throughout the year residents do call the fire department to make sure their alarms are in working order and if it is beeping.
He also said if residents are not home when the fire department comes to your house they will leave a door knocker and they can call the department to return.
Representatives will have identification and show it at each residence.
