ECFR Installs 57 Smoke Detectors In Cantonment Neighborhood
May 21, 2017
Escambia County Fire Rescue installed 57 smoke detectors and 12 carbon monoxide detectors Saturday in the Harvesters Homes community in Cantonment during a smoke detector canvas in the neighborhood. ECFR crew members went door to door installing smoke detectors free of charge for residents, continuing to work toward Escambia County’s goal of having a working smoke detector in every home in the county.
Smoke detectors 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 detector cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half.
For more information about obtaining free a home smoke detector, call 850-595-HERO (4376).

While this is a nice thing for the Fire Department to do, you would think adults living in a home would be smart enough to have a working smoke detector in the home.
