The Douglas Fire Department will install smoke detectors beginning October 31, 2016 through November 7, 2016 in high risk areas of Douglas. The smoke detectors will be installed in areas that are at high risk for fire damage, officials stated.
According to a press released issued earlier this week, the Douglas Fire Department received a 2016 Chesney Fallen Firefighters’ Memorial Grant Award to help with the cost of providing and installing the smoke detectors. This free public service is being provided to help encourage fire safety and prevention of the loss of life and property, city representatives said.
“We are happy to provide this service for our citizens in high risk areas in Douglas,” says Fire Chief Larry Wilson. “We are grateful to receive the Chesney Fallen Firefighers’ Memorial Grant to help offer this service.”
