Program details
How it works
Ontario County’s Home Fire Preparedness page promotes an American Red Cross campaign focused on reducing fire deaths one home at a time. The county page says free smoke alarms are available to residents through the program.
What the services cover
The official county page presents the program as a home fire preparedness campaign and explicitly notes:
- Free smoke alarms are available
- Residents can call the listed phone number or request the service online
The page also includes standard fire-safety education points such as testing smoke alarms monthly, replacing batteries at least once a year, and practicing escape plans.
Timing and deadlines
The county page does not state a deadline, cap, or whether the service is limited by geography within Ontario County. It also does not specify whether installation is included or whether the alarms are delivered only.
Notes for homeowners
This is a fire-specific home hardening service rather than a financial grant. It helps with early warning and basic life safety, but the county page does not say anything about broader retrofits like vents, roofs, or defensible-space work.
