Escambia County Offering Free Smoke Detectors To Local Residents

October 13, 2017

Escambia Fire Rescue is offering to install a new smoke detector with a 10-year battery at no charge for local residents.

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.

For information about obtaining a home smoke detector, call 850-595-HERO (4376).

October 8-14 is National Fire Prevention Week.
