The goal of this year’s contest was to make sure young residents understand the sounds of carbon monoxide and smoke alarms and know how to respond. Here are some essential tips we shared: - If an alarm sounds a continuous set of three loud beeps—beep, beep, beep—it means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out. - A single chirp from an alarm every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed. - If chirping continues after an alarm battery has been replaced, that alarm is at the end of its life and must be replaced immediately. - All alarms must be replaced every ten years. - Make sure alarms meet the needs of all family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities. ### **Drawing conclusions about fire safety** We encouraged young residents to ask about different alarm sounds and their emergency exit strategy, then create a poster about their takeaways. Each participating housing organization held a contest with the option to offer monetary prizes in three age groups. HAI Group reimbursed up to $300 in prize money to each participating organization. Check out some of the winning posters from various housing organizations below! ### Muskogee (OK) Housing Authority ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Muskagee1-1.png?width=524&height=376&name=Muskagee1-1.png) ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/musk2-1.png?width=519&height=409&name=musk2-1.png) ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Musk3-1.png?width=517&height=435&name=Musk3-1.png) ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Musk4-1.png?width=516&height=620&name=Musk4-1.png) ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Musk5-1.png?width=518&height=390&name=Musk5-1.png) ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Musk6-1.png?width=517&height=387&name=Musk6-1.png) ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Musk7-1.png?width=514&height=460&name=Musk7-1.png) ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Musk8-1.png?width=514&height=403&name=Musk8-1.png) ![](https://blog.haigroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Musk9-1.png?width=515&height=386&name=Musk9-1.png) ##
