The Trion Fire Department has been busy over the past few days installing free fire alarms for area residents.

A large shipment of the alarms came in last week to the fire department and they posted on social media saying “If you signed up to receive free smoke alarms at community day or you’re in need of smoke alarms, please stop by our station as soon as possible. You can also reach out to us and we can deliver them to you. Smoke alarms were purchased with 3rd Annual Community day funds and are free to anyone and everyone. Smoke alarms save lives! No better way to give back to our community that we proudly serve”.

Fire alarms save lives.  In almost all of the fire fatalities reported in Chattooga County over the past several years, the absence of working fire alarms was noted.  If you don’t have fire alarms in your home and need help getting them or installing them, contact your local Chattooga County fire department.
