FREE
SMOKE ALARMS FOR ALLEGHENY
Focus on Homes
with No Smoke Alarms or Ones Too Old to Be
Reliable
The Allegheny County Health Department has a free smoke alarm program for owner-occupied homes which have no smoke alarms or ones to old to be reliable. Nearly half of all smoke alrams do not work because they have missing, disconected or dead batters or are more than 10 years old and no longer reliable.
Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a house fire by 50%, yet most residential fire deaths occur in homes with no smoke alarms or defective alarms. The program, funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, provides and installs a maximum of two batter-operated smoke alarms in an owner-occupied home.
To schedule an installation or for more information, please call the Health Department at 412-247-7800. Also, visit the Health Department website at www.achd.net.
