Trion Fire Department is reminding area residents that working smoke alarms save lives.  Roughly three out of five fire deaths happen in homes with either no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. More than one-third (38 percent) of home fire deaths result from fires in which no smoke alarms are present. The risk of dying in a home fire is cut in half in homes with working smoke alarms. The Trion Fire Department says that since 2021 they have installed 525 smoke alarms at NO CHARGE to community members.  If you need a smoke alarm you should call your local fire department for assistance.  If your smoke alarm is not functioning properly, your local fire department will be happy to help you resolve the issue.  Remember smoke alarms save lives!
