Stop by the 2nd Ward office for a free smoke detector. Most fires occur at night when people are sleeping. A smoke detector can alert you when there is a fire, in time to save your life.

Below are some tips to ensure your smoke detector is properly installed and working correctly:

Make sure you are testing your detector correctly.
When a smoke detector sounds, get outside and call 911. Stay outside!
Install smoke detectors within 15 feet of any sleeping room and every level of your house
Replace your smoke detector every 10 years. Write the install date on the unit.
Don’t forget to install Carbon Monoxide detectors on every floor as well.
Any questions on smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors, call the Chicago Fire Department Public Education Division at (312) 747-6691.

This offer is available for 42nd Ward residents only. If you’re in another ward contact your Alderman. Find your ward here.
