I just spoke with Robert Kimmons of the Austin Fire Department (AFD) this morning. He called to let me know that AFD has a program called ZERO FIRE DEATHS where AFD will go to a Senior's home and install smoke detectors - FOR FREE.
Here is a link to their Website for more info. DO NOT worry about the income requirements, they will install the smoke detectors for anyone who needs them. The only requirement, as far as I understand, is that the Senior be in Austin. And, they do not even need to be a senior! It can be anyone.
Remember, Seniors with dementia [including Alzheimer's] often loose their sense of smell so this program can be a life saver!
The best way to participate is to call 512-974-0290 and leave a message.
