Make sure your smoke alarms are working this Fire Prevention Week
 Our State Fire Marshal division is marking Fire Prevention Week 2024 — which runs Oct. 6-12 this year — by urging you to make sure your smoke alarms are working. Our records show that there were 156 fires last year where the smoke detector was present but failed to go off. The most common reason is lack of power.
Fires double in size every 60 seconds. That's one of the reasons smoke alarms are so important: They give you the critical time you need to safely escape a fire. Learn more about the importance of smoke alarms in our
DPS blog.
Get ready for your driver’s road test
 Taking your driver’s license exam can be nerve-wracking, but it doesn’t need to be. Our Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) division aims to help calm your anxieties by making sure you know what to expect before, during and after your road test.
“We know many people who come to take their test are nervous. Understanding the process can go a long way toward putting them at ease,” said DVS Director Pong Xiong.
