The Fire Safety Training Specialists are installing new smoke detectors and CO alarms in homes today in McGrath.

I learned a lot from them today:
1) It is recommended to replace old detectors/alarms every 5 years!!
2) My existing detectors we're not installed in the proper locations!!
3) Even hard-wired systems should have the detector/alarm replaced every 10 years.

If yours are from 2020, this is an opportunity to improved the safety of your home at no cost to you.

To contact them, look for the white Ford Ranger pick-up out and about or email Virginia at virginia.mcmichael@alaska.gov

They will send some out if they can't get to your house today.

(They are not here to inspect - not even from that division.)
