Smoke Alarms

Smoke Alarms Save Lives

Indiana Department of Homeland Security’s (IDHS) $521,000 federal grant supported the purchase of 10,000 smoke alarms with 10-year lithium ion batteries over a two-year period. The Get Alarmed campaign has been working closely with fire departments since 2019 to distribute these smoke alarms across the state at no cost. This campaign program has been extended into early 2021.
