SFRD: free smoke alarms

The Sheridan Fire-Rescue Department recently received a generous donation of smoke alarms from the Sheridan Home Depot. According to the SFRD, the Home Depot provided approximately 100 smoke alarms with the 10-year battery. Sheridan Fire-Rescue would now like to distribute the smoke alarms to make sure every home in Sheridan County has a working smoke alarm. 

Sheridan Fire-Rescue encourages everyone to check their smoke alarms immediately for three reasons: first to make sure you have smoke alarms, second to make sure they are functioning, and third to determine the age of the alarm. If you do not have a smoke alarm, or your smoke alarm does not work, or it is more than 10 years old it needs to be replaced, according to the SFRD. 

For those residents living in the City of Sheridan, Sheridan Fire-Rescue will install the new smoke alarms in your home, free of charge. For those living in Sheridan County, please stop by the Sheridan Fire-Rescue Department Office located at 151 S. Scott to pick up the free smoke alarms. 

Additionally, for residents on home oxygen, Sheridan Fire-Rescue has the FireSafe cannula kits for installation between your oxygen tubing and cannula also free of charge. 

If you have questions or need assistance, call Sheridan Fire-Rescue at 674-7244.
