The Cartersville Fire Department would like to thank TrinityRail and their employees for the recent donation of smoke alarms.  TrinityRail asked their employees for donations of smoke alarms as a way of giving back to the community.  “We are very grateful to TrinityRail and their employees and we will see that these donated smoke alarms get in to homes in our community that need them and cannot afford them,” says Fire Marshal Mark Hathaway.

 

Smoke alarms are an important fire safety item for your home. The Cartersville Fire Department encourages everyone to install smoke alarms and to remember to change the batteries every six months. An installed working smoke alarm doubles a family’s chances of surviving a fire in the home.
