內政部消防署統計顯示全國住警器安裝率高,但審計部發現逾期使用問題嚴重,可能導致警報失效。新北市消防局負責推動住警器補助與安裝宣導工作。

依內政部消防署統計資料指出,截至今年六月,全國住宅用火災警報器(住警器)已達高安裝率,但審計部日前公布的審計報告指出,其中有十五%至二十%的住警器電力早已逾期(超過三至五年期限)或設置超過十年使用年限。這意味著全台有高達數十萬戶的住警器在關鍵時刻可能因為沒電或零件老化而「根本不會響」。審計部因此提醒各地消防局,應加強宣導民眾定期檢測,並落實後續維護工作。
新北市消防局表示,根據住警器申請規定,申請對象以未裝設「火警自動警報設備」的五樓以下公寓、透天厝等住戶為主,各縣市多優先補助獨居長者、低收入戶、身心障礙者、原住民或偏遠地區住戶,多數縣市規定同一地址、同一人限補助一次。

新北市消防局也指出,領取住警器後,須在規定期限內(三日內)自行安裝,或由消防、義消、消防宣導志工協助安裝,位置包括臥室、客廳、走廊及樓梯等關鍵處;廚房則需安裝定溫式住警器。任一樓層超過七平方公尺的居室達五間以上者,需於走廊設置光電式住警器;無走廊者則設於樓梯。
平時維護與保養可採用「按、擦、換」口訣。「按」是每月定期按壓,確認是否正常發出警報聲響;「擦」是定期用抹布擦拭外觀灰塵,切勿碰觸內部偵測孔,避免灰塵累積導致誤報或失效;「換」則是當指示燈閃爍或發出間歇性「嗶」聲低電量警示時,應立即更換電池,住警器使用超過十年則應整組汰換。

As of June this year, the installation rate of residential fire alarms nationwide reached 99.17%. However, among the main causes of fire escape deaths in 2024, failure to install alarms and automatic alarm equipment will still account for 59.46%. The Fire Department pointed out that about 170,000 households refused to install them, and about 70,000 households had residential alarm batteries that had exceeded their useful life. Maintenance and promotion need to be strengthened. In response to electrical fires and the difficulty in escaping for the elderly, firefighting units have proposed six major countermeasures, including improving the intrinsic safety of home appliances, updating old wiring, promoting flame-proof products, and strengthening fire prevention education.
