Where: |
Throughout Fairfax County |
On Saturday, October 27, 2007, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. firefighters will canvas homes in neighborhoods throughout Fairfax County checking for working smoke alarms. Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department is taking a proactive approach to fire safety by ensuring residents have working smoke alarms in their homes.
This initiative was made possible by a grant from the Virginia Department of Fire Programs to Fairfax County as recent recipients of the "Get Alarmed" program. Smoke alarms play a vital role in reducing deaths and injuries from fire and have contributed to an almost 50 percent decrease in fire deaths since the late 1970s. Properly installed and maintained smoke alarms save lives and protect against injury and property loss due to fire.
For more information, please contact Lieutenant Willie Bailey or Renee Stilwell at 703-246-3801.
