Safe Neighborhoods Smoke Alarm Project

A properly installed and maintained smoke alarm is the only thing in your home that can alert you and your family to a fire 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whether you’re awake or asleep, a working smoke alarm is constantly on alert, scanning the air for fire and smoke. According to the National Fire Protection Association, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in properties without working smoke alarms. A working smoke alarm significantly increases your chances of surviving a deadly home fire.

Through the Safe Neighborhood Campaign, Grand Traverse Metro Firefighters are working door-to-door, and by request, to check and change smoke alarm batteries, provide and install smoke alarms in homes that need them, and distribute local coupons for purchasing additional alarms. There is no cost to participants.
