SHELTON - The Shelton Fire Department, Office of Fire Marshal, and Fire Prevention Bureau in partnership with the New Haven Area Chapter of the American Red Cross recently conducted door-to-door fire safety awareness campaign which included the installation of free smoke alarms.
The effort focused on residents of the Fairchild and Sunnyside mobile home parks located in Shelton.
Over 130 homes were visited by volunteer firefighters of the Shelton Fire Department consisting of Echo Hose Hook & Ladder Company No. 1, Huntington Fire Company No. 3, Pine Rock Park Volunteer Fire Company No. 4, and White Hills Voluntary Fire Company No. 5 along with volunteers from the American Red Cross.
Fran Jones, Chief of Shelton Fire Department said, "The department is grateful for the smoke alarms provided and the time given by the committed volunteers from the ARC.”
While firefighters provided residents with fire safety brochures, volunteers from the American Red Cross installed new smoke alarms in several homes. ARC volunteers also distributed information on emergency planning.
Ted Pisciotta, Assistant Chief – Fire Prevention said, “Smoke alarms save lives by providing early warning and time for occupants to quickly escape.”
This program was conducted through a nationwide effort by the American Red Cross to assist local communities in fire prevention, awareness, and safety.
Firefighters last responded to a mobile home fire in Sunnyside Park on June 17, 2014.
Anyone who is in need of installing a smoke alarm and may need assistance should contact the Shelton Fire Marshal’s Office at 203-924-1555, ext. 1340.
Always have working smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, test them monthly and keep them clean and equipped with fresh batteries at all times.
Know when and how to call for help. And remember to practice your home escape plan.
