Fire District seeks participants for smoke alarm program South Lane County Fire and Rescue wants the public to sign up for its free smoke alarm program. Thanks to a cooperation effort with the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Offi ce and South Lane Fire we are able to provide the installation of smoke alarms to the citizens of the fi re district for free. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fi re deaths and injuries. Having a working smoke alarm reduces the chance of dying in a reported fi re by half. Almost two-thirds of home fi re deaths in 2005-2009 resulted from fi res in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. South Lane will install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each sepa- rate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. To date we have installed over 250 smoke alarms in Cottage Grove, Creswell and the surrounding areas. Call today to schedule a date and time to have a certifi ed smoke alarm technician install the alarms. On average it takes 15 minutes to install the alarms. All of our smoke alarms are powered by a lithium ion battery that will last 10 years. Call our headquarters at (541) 942- 4493 to sign up.
