Program details

How it works

Portsmouth Fire, Rescue & Emergency Services provides smoke alarms at no cost and installs them after the homeowner submits the alarm installation/agreement form. The page states that after the completed form is received, staff will contact the applicant to coordinate an installation time.

What the service covers

The service is described as "smoke alarm(s)" / "Smoke Alarms Installed." The page does not specify how many alarms are provided per home, whether batteries are included, or what brand or model is used.

How to apply

Homeowners must complete and submit the Alarm Installation/Agreement Form. The page text itself does not list an online application portal, phone number, or deadline.

Timing and deadlines

No funding cap, deadline, or application cycle is stated. The page presents this as an available city service, but it does not say whether installations are scheduled year-round or by appointment only beyond the contact-after-submission process.

Homeowner responsibilities

The homeowner must maintain and test the alarms as instructed by the manufacturer. The form also includes a liability waiver related to failure of the alarms and/or batteries.
