In the United States, on average, seven people are killed each
day in home fires. An important way to help prevent injuries and deaths in home
fires is to have working smoke detectors inside the home. A smoke detector
should be installed in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, and
on every level of your home, including the basement.
On April 23 the American Red Cross is conducting a Smoke Alarm Rally to promote working smoke detectors in the home. Volunteers will be going door to door to speak about the importance of work smoke detectors, install free smoke detectors, and teach people how to maintain and test the smoke detectors.
If you would like to request a free smoke detector from this program please visit www.getasmokealarm.org.
The Village of Bellevue Fire Department has a limited supply of smoke detectors that we can install free of charge to Village residents. If there is a home in the Village of Bellevue that is in need of working smoke detectors please contact us to set-up an install appointment. Please contact Chad at 920-371-8918 or cweihbrecht@bellevue-fire.org
Remember smoke detectors save lives!
