Importance Of Smoke Detectors
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Anyone who owns a single-family home or two-family home in Duval County is eligible for a free smoke detector program courtesy of Mayor Lenny Curry’s office.
All you have to do is call 630-CITY, and the fire department will bring either a new smoke detector or a new set of batteries to you can set you up for fire safety, Chief Keith Powers told The Morning Show on Thursday.
“It is very important that the smoke detector gets put in the right place in the home,” Powers said. “It needs to be between the regular part of the living area of the house and the bedroom. So it needs to be near your bedroom in case that fire happens while you’re asleep in the middle of the night.”
