Smoke Detectors

Every year hundreds of lives are lost to house fires where smoke detectors could have made a difference. It is also important  to install CO detectors in your home.  Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a silent killer and a CO detector is the only way to detect if you have a problem.  It is our position that no home should be unprotected, for any reason.  If you don't have a smoke or CO detector and need assistance acquiring or installing one, contact us - we can help.  For more information about our free detector program click here.
