The officers and members Rescue Fire Company would like to remind everyone that this weekend is important, while you’re changing your clocks don’t forget to check and try out those smoke detectors. It’s a fact that smoke detectors save lives, so help us help you by making sure all the smoke detectors in your house are working.

If you are in need of smoke detectors please fill out the form on our website under the “requests” tab, if you submitted a request before 2022 please re-submit another form please.

Some smoke alarm facts:
~As of January 1, 2018, the Maryland Law requires ALL Maryland residents to have 10-year lithium battery tamper resistant smoke alarms with the silence/hush on every level of their home.

~Smoke alarms with non-replaceable 10-year batteries are designed to remain effective for up to 10 years. If the alarm chirps, warning that the battery is low, replace the entire smoke alarm right away.
