What the service covers

The page specifically says the program includes:

  • Free smoke alarm installation
  • 45 minutes of free fire safety training

The page does not state the alarm brand, whether batteries are included, whether the alarm is battery-powered or hardwired, or any other equipment details.

Timing and deadlines

The county presents this as an available resident service. The page does not state an application deadline, waitlist, funding cap, or end date.

Why it matters

This program is a household safety upgrade rather than a structural retrofit. It can improve early warning and preparedness for fire emergencies, especially for residents who do not already have working smoke alarms.
