Sound The Alarm

How it works

Walton County Fire Rescue has partnered with the American Red Cross to provide free smoke detectors to Walton County residents north of the Choctawhatchee Bay as part of the Sound the Alarm program. Homeowners or renters can fill out the form on the page, and members of Walton County Fire Rescue will come to the home and install smoke alarms provided by the American Red Cross at no charge.

What the money covers

This is a free service rather than a cash grant or reimbursement program. The page says the program provides FREE smoke detectors and that firefighters will install the alarms in the home free of charge. No other hardening work, materials, or safety improvements are described.

How to apply

The page directs residents to complete the form on the page. It also says residents can email soundthealarm@waltonso.org for more information or call the non-emergency line at (850) 892-8111 and ask to speak with Fire Marshal Jeremy Radney.

Timing and deadlines

The official page does not state an application deadline, end date, funding cap, or other timing restrictions.
