Erath County Emergency Management is coordinating with county fire departments to provide and install free smoke detectors for Erath residents.
Free smoke detectors are available for Erath County residents.
Residents are eligible for up to three free Kidde 10-Year lithium battery smoke detectors as Erath County Emergency Management is coordinating with Erath County Fire Rescue, Dublin Fire Department, Stephenville Fire Department, and the Volunteer Fire Departments of Bluff Dale, Desdemona, Harbin, Huckabay, Lingleville, Morgan Mill and Selden to provide and install the units the residents.
Residents do not have to own the home to request a smoke detector, however they are asked to check with their landlord for permission. There is no income requirement or limit to receive the smoke detectors. Special smoke detectors are available for visually impaired and hearing impaired.
The smoke detectors are part of the American Red Cross Home Fire Safety campaign. The firefighters will install the smoke detectors and do a quick, fire safety review with residents to assist in planning the elimination of high-risk areas of their house and an escape route.
Erath County Firefighters are ready to begin installations before the end of the month of March.
Contact Erath County Emergency Management at 254-965-1326 to request your free smoke detectors to be installed to provide early warning in the event of a fire in your home.
