12:24 p.m., Oct. 30, 2009----The University of Delaware Department of Environmental Health and Safety reminds members of the campus community that this weekend, Oct. 31-Nov. 1, is part of the Wake Up Delaware fire safety campaign.
Fire companies throughout Delaware will hand out free smoke detectors and replacement batteries to residents as part of the continuing fire safety initiative, according to the Delaware Volunteer Firefighter's Association. All 86 fire stations statewide participate in providing battery-operated smoke detectors, replacement 9-volt batteries and fire prevention information to residents who visit the firehouses.
Residents are encouraged to visit their local firehouse to receive the free detectors and batteries and are asked to provide address information to assist fire department personnel in their continuing effort to ensure that every household in Delaware has at least one working smoke detector in place.
Brochures describing recommended installation practices are also available in English and Spanish. Persons requiring assistance with installation or replacement are encouraged to ask their fire company for help.
