Syracuse Fire Department Partnering with Red Cross for Smoke Detector Installations

SYRACUSE, Ohio – On July 20, 2019 members of the Syracuse Volunteer Fire Department is partnering with the American Red Cross to do door to door free smoke detector installation.

Ultimately, a smoke detector is critical for the early detection of a fire in your home and can even make the difference between life and death. Fires can occur in so many different ways and in pretty much any room of your home. However no matter where or how a fire starts, having a smoke alarm is the first key step towards ensuring the safety of your family.

Moreover, in order to ensure that smoke detectors are working correctly, it is vital that they are checked, installed, replaced, or upgraded by certified electricians.

According to the American Red Cross website, “Every day, 7 people die in home fires and tragically, most victims die in homes that don’t have working smoke alarms. The Red Cross wants to do everything we can to prevent these needless tragedies. That’s why we launched our Home Fire Campaign. Volunteer participants work alongside fire departments and other local groups, canvassing at-risk neighborhoods to install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms, educate families about fire prevention and safety, and fundraise for this lifesaving mission.”
