WEST NEWBURY — In support of the Fire Chiefs Association of Massachusetts and the State Fire Marshals Office, the West Newbury and Merrimac fire departments are urging residents to check their smoke alarms as alarm models with lifesaving batteries are nearing the end of their lifespans.
Smoke detectors and devices with long-life batteries last roughly 10 years.
