In an effort to reduce the number of fatalities in home fires, the City of Burlington Fire Department is recommending that homeowners make sure they have the appropriate number of working smoke alarms in their homes, and to make sure they are installed for proper operation and maximum efficiency.
The City of Burlington Fire Department has been awarded a grant for smoke detector installations from the Wisconsin Smoke Alarm and Fire Education organization (WisSAFE). This grant awards the Fire Department smoke detectors for installation in residential dwellings within the city. City of Burlington Fire Department personnel will be available to install the detectors at no cost.
