Over the weekend the Trenton Fire Department teamed up with Casey’s General Store and the American Red Cross to not only deliver pizza but smoke detectors.
Trenton Fire Marshal Lt. Robert Romesburg tagged along with the Casey’s Pizza delivery driver’s as they made they’re rounds around Trenton. Residents were asked about smoke detectors in they’re home, if residents had working smoke detectors already they were rewarded with free Cheesy Breadsticks compliments of Casey’s. If no alarms were present or not acceptable new alarms were provided at no cost along with the Cheesy Breadsticks offer. All in all it was found many of the residents had functioning Smoke Detectors as hoped however some detectors were replaced. The numbers for this event are:
27 residents contacted
27 smoke detectors found
18 of the 27 worked
13 new detectors provided
Smoke Detector Literature and Fire Safety checklists had been provided to all residents.
A huge thank you to Brooke and the Casey’s crew for making this event possible and to all the homeowners who allowed us into they’re homes in an effort to make Trenton a more fire safe community.
