Did you know that the most common cause of fire deaths is smoke inhalation from burning materials? Or that many fires occur at night? In an effort to reduce these dangerous conditions, the City of Decatur Fire Department is now offering smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, free of charge, to City of Decatur residents. Thanks to funding received through a grant from the Fire Prevention and Safety Assistance to Firefighters grant program, our firefighters will install new detectors, test existing detectors and replace inoperable ones. And if you request it while they are in your home, they’ll point out hazards that could cause a fire if continually overlooked.
If you are a resident of the City of Decatur and need a smoke detector installed, tested or checked, please call 404-373-5092, email Fire Marshal Stephanie Burton (stephanie.burton@decaturga.com) or visit www.decaturga.com and make a service request online.
