How We Help Our Community

I feel more at ease knowing my 94-year-old mother has a working smoke alarm in her home. As a senior living alone, I can feel confident knowing these alarms will alert her to danger."

I think our students needed to hear that information. I don't think they had been taught this before. They remembered the information because we had a guest firefighter come in the next day and they told him all about stop, drop and roll, back of the hand to the door, and to get out 2 ways."

My husband and I did not have any working fire alarms or carbon monoxide detectors. We are grateful for those who made it possible for us to have these important safety features in our home now. The installers were very kind. Thank you for your generous help."

Many of our students do not have family structures that prepare them for fire safety. For some of them, this is the only information they have gotten."
