????4月1日俗稱愚人節(jié)，昆士蘭州消防救援服務(wù)中心督促昆士蘭州的人們要及時(shí)更換煙霧報(bào)警器的電池，以免被認(rèn)為是個(gè)傻瓜。

????緊急服務(wù)廳長尼爾羅伯茨說，人們必須記住只有正常工作的煙霧報(bào)警器才能挽救生命。

????“昆士蘭州消防救援服務(wù)（QFRS）呼吁大家不要做自欺欺人，并且在4月1日更換他們家中的煙霧報(bào)警器的電池。這項(xiàng)行動(dòng)得到了Duracell的支持。”羅伯茨說。

“可悲的是，許多人的生命因?yàn)闊熿F報(bào)警器的罷工而失去了。這使得更換煙霧報(bào)警器的電池與拯救親人的生命具有等同的意義。”

????“五分之一的澳大利亞人會(huì)在其一生中經(jīng)歷一場火災(zāi)，而在煙霧報(bào)警器罷工的情況下，火災(zāi)傷亡率將會(huì)提高百分之六十。要想從火災(zāi)中逃生，人們必須意識(shí)到，只有正常工作的煙霧報(bào)警器才能提供必要的火災(zāi)報(bào)警信號(hào)。”

????“按照澳大利亞的法律，住宅中的煙霧報(bào)警器必須保持正常工作狀態(tài)，并且要按照澳大利亞的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)安裝，否則，將會(huì)因?yàn)檫`反安全規(guī)定而受到處罰。”

?羅伯茨說，州政府三年多前就訂立了相關(guān)法律，要求所有的家庭必須安裝一個(gè)煙霧報(bào)警器。

????“從那時(shí)以來，昆士蘭州，住宅中安裝煙霧報(bào)警器的比例一直保持上升的趨勢，從04年的72.6%上升到了08年度的百分之90.1。”他說。

????布萊政府還引入了回扣計(jì)劃，以此來補(bǔ)償昆士蘭州的耳聾者和聽力障礙者在購買包括閃光燈和枕頭振動(dòng)器等火災(zāi)報(bào)警器時(shí)的費(fèi)用。

????“350多名的退還申請(qǐng)已獲得批準(zhǔn)的日期，我鼓勵(lì)所有昆士蘭州的聽力受損者充分利用該項(xiàng)計(jì)劃的優(yōu)勢。”

????羅伯茨先生說，他很震驚，因?yàn)楹芏嗟娜嗽谧鲲垖?dǎo)致發(fā)生一些意外的時(shí)候，他們往往誰采取關(guān)閉或拆除煙霧報(bào)警器的電池來阻止報(bào)警器報(bào)警。

????“這些選擇會(huì)導(dǎo)致致命的后果，而且這些人談到自己的安全和他們的親人的安全還不以為意。”他說。

????昆士蘭消防救援服務(wù)中心的專員李·約翰遜呼吁人們，要經(jīng)常清洗和測試家中的煙霧報(bào)警器，同時(shí)要經(jīng)常更換煙霧報(bào)警器的電池。

????“煙霧報(bào)警器應(yīng)定期按下按測試按鈕來進(jìn)行測試，至少每6個(gè)月要用真空吸塵器進(jìn)行清洗或者擦拭。煙霧報(bào)警器有失效日期，因此，要注意檢查煙霧報(bào)警器的是否在使用期并及時(shí)更換。”約翰遜說。

????“當(dāng)談到是租戶的責(zé)任時(shí)，定期清洗和測試煙霧報(bào)警器是承租人的責(zé)任。”他說。（編譯/慧聰消防網(wǎng)? 林曉）
