Community Volunteers, Firefighters Install Smoke Alarms, Saturday
April 25, 2008
WHAT: More than 100 community volunteers and members of the Houston Fire Department will conduct a massive smoke alarm installation in northeast Houston.
WHEN: Saturday, April 26, 2008 from 9am to 12pm
WHERE: In the neighborhood around Fire Station 41, 805 Pearl Street
DETAILS: When it comes to smoke alarms, silence can be deadly. National and local
statistics reflect this deadly silence with more than 50 percent of all residential fatal fires
not having a working smoke alarm.
In an effort to prevent needless injuries and deaths, the volunteers and HFD hope to distribute and install several hundred smoke alarms in the homes of residences who could not otherwise afford or install one themselves.
For more information, citizens may visit the HFD website at www.houstonfire.org or call
the HFD Public Affairs Office at 713-495-7900.
