Community Volunteers, Firefighters Install Smoke Alarms, Saturday
June 6, 2008
WHAT: Community volunteers and members of the Houston Fire Department will conduct a massive smoke alarm installation in northeast Houston.
WHEN: Saturday, June 7, 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.
