Firefighters boost safety with free smoke detector program

During a recent government meeting, a resident praised the local fire department for their proactive approach in enhancing home safety through smoke detector installations. The resident shared their positive experience with the department, highlighting that they initially expected only one smoke detector but were pleasantly surprised by the number installed after a thorough assessment of their home.

The resident emphasized the importance of this initiative for the entire Frogwood community, encouraging fellow residents to take advantage of the fire department's services. They noted that the assessment not only provided new smoke detectors but also ensured that homes are better prepared in case of a fire emergency.

Major Bowman was acknowledged for his diligence in following up on the resident's request, demonstrating the fire department's commitment to community safety. Another council member echoed the sentiment, reinforcing the recommendation that smoke detectors should be placed in every bedroom to maximize safety.

This discussion underscores the vital role local fire departments play in community safety and the importance of residents engaging with these services to protect their homes and families.
