Smoke alarms give early notification of a possible life-threatening fire emergency. For South Carolina residents, the Smoke Alarm Program provides life-saving smoke alarm technology.
Did you know?
- You should have a working smoke alarm on every level of your home, inside every sleeping area (to include the living room), and outside every sleeping area.
- A smoke alarm, the entire device, should be replaced every 10 years.
- Alarms with 10-year sealed batteries, lasting for the life of the alarm, are preferred. Otherwise, batteries should be changed twice a year.
- Alarms should be checked monthly by pressing the test button.
From 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 9, the Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District and Campobello Fire Department, with the support of the American Red Cross and Fire Safe South Carolina, will install residential smoke detectors in qualifying homes at no charge.
To qualify, you must be a resident of either the Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District or the Town of Campobello, and you must allow fire personnel in to your home to professionally install and test the smoke alarm. That’s it.
If you’re interested in having a free smoke alarm installed in your home, please send your name, address, and contact phone number to smokealarm@landrumfire.com.
