DERBY - Griffin Health and the Agency on Aging of South-Central Connecticut are hosting a series of fire safety events for seniors throughout the Valley in September.
The events will feature a discussion of home fire prevention and safety tips by the area fire department representatives, and the American Red Cross will be scheduling appointments for their Home Fire Preparedness Campaign which offers free smoke alarms with installation.
