Free smoke alarms; carbon monoxide detectors are also included in the 2026 expansion

Program details
How it works
Get Alarmed, Tennessee! is an in-home fire safety education and alarm installation campaign run by the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office with local fire departments. The official program page says residents can request a free smoke alarm, and the State Fire Marshal’s Office says the program has expanded to include carbon monoxide detectors in 2026.
What the money covers
This is a free-service program rather than a cash grant. It provides smoke alarms, and as of the program expansion noted by the State Fire Marshal’s Office, carbon monoxide detectors as well.
Who it is for
The program is targeted to high-risk homes across Tennessee. Official state materials describe the target population as older adults, people living below the poverty line, and households in structures built before modern building codes took effect.
Notes for homeowners
The page does not list a Washington County-only allocation, income table, or application deadline. It is a statewide program, but because it is delivered through local fire departments, it is relevant to homeowners in Washington County when local fire departments participate.
