Smoke Alarms are your best form of protection against fire. Fire moves fast and smoke is deadly. Smoke and deadly gases kill more people than flames do in fires. Smoke alarms warn people at the earliest signs of smoke, giving them time to escape. The Philadelphia Fire Department offers 10-year lithium battery operated smoke alarms free of charge and will even install them for you. Fill out the form below or call the Smoke Alarm Hotline @  (215) 686-1176.

Remember These Important Tips About Smoke Alarms:
Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of your home.
• Alarms should be mounted high on  the wall or on the ceiling.

Never remove or disconnect the battery.
