To request a free smoke detector and home fire safety survey, please call the local Red Cross office at (915) 592-0208. Your ability to get out depends on advance warning from smoke alarms and advance planning - a home fire escape plan that everyone in your family is familiar with and has practiced. You will be able to see from the video you have as little as two minutes to escape safely once the alarm sounds. This video demonstrates the growth of fire in two similar rooms-one with modern furnishings, the other with “legacy” furnishings from 20 or 30 years ago. Modern construction techniques and furnishings have greatly reduced the amount of time you have to escape from a fire.
In fact, having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half!
If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. Firefighters will come to your home, conduct a quick fire safety survey and install the detector in an appropriate area of your home. The West Valley Fire Department, in partnership with the American Red Cross, is offering a free smoke detector for every household in our response district.
