The provincial government is reminding the public to stay safe and check their smoke alarms.

The government proclaimed today, September 28, as Test Your Smoke Alarm Day in the province.

A release encourages everyone to check that their smoke alarms are properly installed, maintained and working correctly.

According to data from the National Fire Protection Association, the risk of dying in a house fire is cut in half in homes that have working smoke alarms.

In May 2026, Saskatchewan introduced Henry’s law, further strengthening Carbon Monoxide Detection standards in the province. An amendment was made to require all suites in multi-unit residential buildings in Saskatchewan to be equipped with a carbon monoxide alarm regardless of their location in the building, effective November 1, 2026.
