Black Association of New Orleans Firefighters Offers Free Smoke Detector Installations

The Black Association of New Orleans Firefighters is committed to safeguarding our community. To help prevent fires and ensure the safety of our residents, we are offering free smoke detector installations.

 

Why are smoke detectors important?

Working smoke detectors can save lives by providing early warning of a fire, giving you precious time to escape. We want to ensure that every home in New Orleans is equipped with these life-saving devices.

​

How can I participate?

Our firefighters will be visiting homes throughout the city to install new smoke detectors and provide fire safety tips. To schedule an installation, please click the button below and complete the form.
