“Our goal will be to make 100 homes safer,” said Fire Chief Ray Gonzales. “Home fires are our most frequent call out and installing smoke alarms will help save lives.”

The smoke alarms will be installed Dec. 1st from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will meet at 9 a.m. at the City Hall Chambers located at 203 S. Main St.

Volunteers can meet at City Hall, where installation training will be provided. Volunteers must be 18 or older unless accompanied by an adult.
