Subject: Community Service: Smoke detector education
September 23, 2008, the Johnson City Fire Department conducted a smoke detector education and installation service for the community of Spring City Dr. Firefighters walked door to door providing information and one free smoke detector, if needed, to each household. If the residents had a smoke detector already installed in their home, the operability of the detector as well as it’s age were evaluated. Smoke detectors that were manufactured more than ten years ago need to be replaced. Approximately 50 residences were evaluated, 15 new detectors were installed and two batteries were replaced.
It is important to the Johnson City Fire Department that all residences in Johnson City have working smoke detectors. The safety of all citizens is our mission.
