MFRD To Offer And Install Smoke Alarms At No Cost

The City of Mobile Fire-Rescue Department (MFRD) will be hosting a Smoke Alarm Blitz on July 17 at 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Michael Figures Community Center at 658 Donald Street in Mobile. Firefighters will also be canvassing neighborhoods in Toulminville and installing up to three smoke alarms at registered Mobile residences. The department has partnered with the American Red Cross and the Alabama Fire College to offer smoke alarms and installation to all Mobilians at no cost. MFRD plans to host a quarterly blitz in a Mobile community in hopes to greatly reduce the risk of fire-related injuries and fatalities. Mobile residents may preregister here.
