Test every smoke detector and document the check. Georgia requires a smoke detector in every dwelling, placed in the hallway or area outside each group of bedrooms and on every story including basements, so a yearly check that tests each one, records the date, and replaces any detector older than 10 years (as the Safety Fire Commissioner advises) confirms they are installed and working.
