Bellmawr Fire Department Offers Free Smoke Detectors to Residents
Thursday, June 24, 2010
The Bellmawr Fire Department can provide you with FREE smoke detectors and installthem, if necessary, at no cost to you through our community smoke detector and battery program.
Although 90 percent of American homes have smoke detectors many do not work due to neglect. This means that many homes and families that live in them are unnecessarily at risk. A properly maintained smoke detector can provide a warning during the early stages of a fire, giving the occupants time to escape unharmed.
Smoke detectors are only effective if hey are installed in the proper locations and maintained regularly. If you have any questions about the smoke detector program or need assistance inspecting your detectors, feel free to contact the Borough Hall at 933-1313 and leave your contact information and someone from the Fire Department will be in touch with you.
