The Solon Fire Department (SFD) has joined forces with the American Red Cross to support their Home Fire Preparedness Campaign with a National Goal of a 25% reduction in home fire deaths and injuries in 5 years.
The SFD will provide up to three (3) smoke detectors per residence to support the need to have a working smoke detector on every level, and every room of a residence. Both rental and owned properties qualify for this campaign.
The smoke detectors to be installed are 10 year Lithium Ion battery powered devices. There is no need for battery changes every 6 months. Simply dispose of the detector after ten years. Monthly testing is the only maintenance item required.
A home fire safety survey will also be provided during the smoke detector install. Schedule a 20-30 minute appointment through the Solon Fire Department at smokedetectors@solontwp.org, or 616-696-0020.
