Smoke Alarms
Place at least 10 feet from kitchen/stove, and on the ceiling or high on a wall, no more than 10 inches from top.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Carbon monoxide alarms can be placed anywhere, not just the ceiling or high on a wall. They should be replaced every 5 to 7 years.
Fire Extinguishers
Keep in the kitchen and garage, but make sure to have the right grade for the type of fire that might occur.
Escape Ladders
Have at least one if your home has more than one story. Each room needs 2 escape routes; in most bedrooms it's the window, so have a ladder nearby.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2024Product Packaging: AUTO5Verified PurchaseWhen I first purchased my car, one of the essential items on my list was a fire extinguisher, and I ended up choosing the FIRST ALERT AUTO5 Car Fire Extinguisher. Although I haven’t had to use it (thankfully!), I feel a lot more secure knowing it's there, just in case. Having this extinguisher on hand gives me peace of mind, especially during road trips or when driving through more remote areas.
One of the best things about this extinguisher is its compact size. It’s small enough to fit in the trunk of my car or even under the passenger seat without taking up much space. For anyone with a smaller car or limited storage, this is ideal. Despite its size, it feels functional and sturdy, like it’s built to do the job if ever needed. It doesn't feel flimsy or cheap, which is reassuring for something you may rely on in an emergency.
The packaging was robust and secure when it arrived, which helped confirm the quality of the product from the start. There was no damage or wear during shipping, and everything felt tightly sealed. The extinguisher itself looks solid, and even after keeping it in my car for some time now, it still feels like new—no signs of wear or corrosion.
While I haven’t had to put it to the test (and hopefully never will), the instructions are clear and easy to follow, so if an emergency were to happen, I feel confident that I could use it quickly. It’s also great to know that FIRST ALERT is a trusted brand when it comes to safety equipment, which adds another layer of confidence in the product.
Overall, I think the FIRST ALERT AUTO5 is a must-have for any car owner. It’s compact, easy to store, and seems like it would work effectively in a worst-case scenario. I can’t speak to its performance directly, but everything about it—from the sturdy build to the reliable packaging—makes me feel prepared for any unexpected situations. Definitely worth having in your car for extra peace of mind!
