State Fire Marshal Chief Bryan J. Adams is reminding Louisiana residents of the life-saving capabilities of smoke alarms in homes. Adams says deputies were unable to confirm the presence of working smoke alarms in the Concordia Parish home.
“So many fire emergency outcomes have the potential to be very different if smoke alarms were present and working,” said Adams, “They give families critical extra seconds to react, gather together safely, and escape.”
The Operation Save-A-Life program helps families access working smoke alarms for free and get help installing them. To learn more about Operation Save-A-Life, visit their website. To register for a free smoke alarm installation, click here or contact your local fire department.
