Escambia Fire Rescue Offers Free Smoke Detectors
April 10, 2016
Free smoke alarms are available from Escambia Fire Rescue.
Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. According to the National Fire Protection Association, a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half. Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. The Escambia County Commission has purchased 800 smoke alarms since January in hopes of helping communities reach the goal of every home in the county having a working smoke alarm.
For information about obtaining a home smoke alarm, call (850) 595-HERO (4376).
