[HFDlist] Senior Citizen Smoke Detector exchange program

[cborowy at holdenma.gov]

Hello Everyone,

There have been a number of incidents in the last few months regarding  
senior citizens with bad smoke/CO detectors in there homes. The fire  
department receives an annual grant every year that helps provide  
senior citizens with new detectors. The department is able to provide  
(2) detectors per household. The department has both battery operated  
combo detectors and hardwired combo detectors. The department is able  
to install the battery operated detectors and can schedule a date and  
time with the homeowner. The department should not be installing any  
hardwired detectors and should advise the homeowner to contact a  
licensed electrician for installation. The detectors are available  
only to seniors who are currently living in town in single family  
residences and are continuing to live in town. These detectors will  
not be used for compliance with any residential sales. If you have any  
questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for your time.
