Program details
How it works
Sioux Falls Fire Rescue, in partnership with the American Red Cross, provides smoke alarms and installation free of charge to residents in Sioux Falls. The Helpline Center helps streamline requests so residents can start the process through 211. After the 211 intake, an inspector at Sioux Falls Fire Rescue reaches out to coordinate installation.
What the money covers
The program covers smoke alarms and installation at no cost to the resident. The page does not state a dollar amount, a cap on the number of alarms, or whether any additional equipment or maintenance items are included.
Who it serves
The program is for anyone in Sioux Falls in need of smoke alarms. The page says there is no requirement to live in a particular neighborhood, but residents must live within Sioux Falls city limits.
How to apply
Call 211 to request smoke alarms. During the call, 211 asks whether you own or rent the home, whether an alarm is chirping, whether you are within city limits, your name, and your availability so the city can contact you. After the call, Sioux Falls Fire Rescue follows up to arrange installation.
Timing and deadlines
The page does not list an application deadline or seasonal window. It appears to operate continuously and on request.
