Smoke Alarm Program

The Frederick County Division of Fire and Rescue Services, along with the Frederick County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Departments, and the Career Firefighters Association of Frederick County, IAFF Local 3666 continue to install 10-year lithium-ion battery-powered smoke alarms. In 2024 we installed over 120 smoke alarms county-wide through this collaborative program. Additionally, we installed 10 specialty alarms or bed shakers for the hearing impaired. Through our door-to-door canvass events we reached 62 homes. We would like to thank the following partners who contributed personal, equipment, media support, and smoke alarms: - The American Red Cross Greater Chesapeake Region - Western Maryland Chapter - Maryland State Fireman’s Association Fire Prevention Committee - Frederick County Public Schools – for getting our message out to students - Career Firefighters Association of Frederick County, IAFF Local 3666 – financial support - Frederick County Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association Fire Prevention & Life Safety Committee
