City Participates in Program to Provide Smoke Detectors for Residents in Need
The Pearland Fire Department will be among 40 Texas fire departments that will be installing smoke alarms into the homes of low-income and elderly residents this year thanks to the We’re Out to Alarm Texas smoke alarm campaign.
Through the statewide campaign, which is a partnership between the City and theInsurance Council of Texas, the Pearland Fire Department will provide free smoke alarms to residents based on their financial or physical need.
“The goal of this program remains preventing people from dying in fires because they did not have the ability to install or maintain these lifesaving alarms,” said Pearland Fire Marshal Roland Garcia.
Smoke alarms are installed on a first-come, first-serve basis to homeowners. During the installation period, Pearland firefighters will also identify possible fire hazards within the home.
