Fire safety improved for Sullivan Fire Protection District homeowners with the “Sound the Alarm, Save a Life” free smoke/fire detector program.

Kidde Smoke Alarm Co. is introducing the new 10 year life smoke/fire detectors through the American Red Cross in a nationwide introductory giveaway program.

Homeowners within the Sullivan Fire Protection District qualify for up to three smoke detectors installed by members of the fire department.

Firefighter/paramedic Kaleb Randol is department education coordinator and kicked the free smoke detector program off on the Sullivan Fire Dist. FaceBook page Monday, Feb. 19.

“This is a very big deal for a department our size to be able to offer free smoke detectors to homeowners,” Randol said, noting installation is included and said the new technology detectors are a $20 value.

“All the homeowner must do is drop by the fire department or call and get an appointment time set. The application process is very easy,” he continued.

He went on to point out the new long-life lithium powered smoke detector is sealed and guaranteed for 10 years, representing a big change from replacing nine volt batteries twice a year in conventional smoke detectors.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
